Bradley Manning, 25, is a US army private who spilled secret US data to WikiLeaks, including a huge tranche of diplomatic cables from the US State Department. Manning, who was arrested in May 2010, has already served more than three years while awaiting trial and sentencing. He was acquitted of aiding the enemy, a charge that could have seen him locked up for the rest of his life. Assange, the WikiLeaks personality who handled Mannings leaked data, remains a free man, strictly speaking. However, Assange is as good as incarcerated: he sought and was granted political asylum in Ecuador.”]
