A WikiLeaks two-fer

Item One The leaked files were offered to the White House for their review before they were posted. The White House reply? . . . . crickets . . . A video of Judge Andrew Napolitano who had interviewed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange: Hat tip to Frank Ross at Breitbart's Big Journalism for the link. Item Two It seems that Pfc Manning is in custody and is being transferred stateside. From Politico:

Pentagon returns Wikileaks suspect to U.S.
A military intelligence analyst suspected in the leak of more than 90,000 classified field reports from Afghanistan was returned to the United States from a base in Kuwait Thursday, an Army spokesman said.

"U.S. Army officials transferred PFC Bradley Manning from the Theater Field Confinement Facility in Kuwait to the Marine Corps Base Quantico Brig in Quantico, Virginia, on July 29," Major Bryan Woods, an Army spokesman, said in a statement e-mailed to reporters.

And why he was incustody initially:

Preliminary charges were filed against Manning back on July 5 in connection with the leak of a classified video to Wikileaks depicting the killing of a Reuters photographer by U.S. forces. He was also charged with leaking more than 50 diplomatic cables and downloading more than 150,000 of them in violation of military rules. At least some of that material seems to have made it to Wikileaks, though the web site's founder Julian Assange has said it does not have the larger cache.

Military officials said this week that Manning is now a "person of interest" in the highly-publicized leak of the Afghanistan reports--a leak which top Pentagon officials have said could result in the deaths of U.S. soldiers or Afghans.

I hope he doesn't see daylight for a long long time...
