The soldier was found guilty of espionage for providing secrets to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. The court also found him guilty of several other charges. The punishment for these crimes could add up to more than 100 years in prison. The Oklahoma native was found not guilty of aiding the enemy. That charge could have resulted in a life prison sentence.
Manning had admitted to what is called the largest leak of secret U.S. documents in history. The documents included secret diplomatic messages and military reports about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The case was tried at Fort Meade, Maryland, close to the grounds of the National Security Agency. That is where intelligence contractor Edward Snowden once worked. He recently leaked secret documents on government efforts to collect information about American citizens.
On Wednesday, members of Congress met with intelligence and law enforcement officials. The officials said the U.S. government's information gathering does not violate the privacy of citizens. And they said these activities help to identify and defeat terrorist threats.本周,一名美国军事法官对陆军士兵布兰得利·曼宁一案作出裁决。该士兵被发现向反保密网站维基解密网提供秘密情报,被判犯有间谍罪。法庭还判决对他的其他指控成立。这些罪名将使他面临超过100年的监禁。出生于俄克拉荷马州的曼宁被判通敌罪名不成立,否则他将面临终生监禁的裁决。
曼宁已经承认了被称为美国历史上最大的机密文件泄露罪。该文件包括和伊拉克战争、阿富汗战争有关的秘密外交文电及军方报告。
该案件在马里兰州的米德堡审判,距情报承包人爱德华·斯诺登曾工作过的国家安全局不远。斯诺登最近曝出美国政府收集公民个人信息这一机密文件。
周三,美国国会议员会见了情报和执法官员。这些官员表示,美国政府收集信息的行为并未侵犯公民的隐私,并称,该行为有助于识别和打击恐怖威胁。
