http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201308/201308250536472444986.mp3After three years in prison, the 25-year-old soldier and former intelligence analyst arrived at military court to hear his sentence: 35 years for committing espionage.
It's much lighter than the 90 years he could have gotten for digging up and releasing hundreds of thousands of files including State Department cables, military field reports, and videos like this one that shows U.S. troops firing on civilians in Baghdad.
Manning says he did it to expose the wrongfulness of war and U.S. actions overseas. The government called him a traitor.
In the end, testimony pointed to no specific harm and no deaths caused by the leaks.
Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Morris Davis is a former chief prosecutor at Guantanamo who testified on Manning's behalf.
"The worst thing Bradley Manning did is embarrass the country."
In consultation with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, Manning searched for the material while deployed in Iraq.
Some of the documents published by Wikileaks were found in Osama Bin Ladin's compound in Pakistan.
However, the judge cleared Manning of the more serious charge of aiding the enemy.
In the sentencing phase, Manning pleaded for a lighter sentence and a chance to mend his life. He said he meant to do good and expressed regret for harming the United States.25岁的美国士兵,前情报分析员曼宁在关押了3年后,抵达了军事法庭以听取审判:因间谍罪判处35年徒刑。
   这一量刑比其理应获得的90年徒刑轻的多。之所以是90年,是因为曼宁收集并泄露了包括美国国务院电报、军事领域报告和像展示美国军队空袭巴格达平民的影像。
    曼宁表示,他这样做是为了揭发战争的不正当性和美国的海外行径。美国政府称他为卖国贼。
    最终,证据指出,泄密并未引发特殊的伤害和死亡。
    前关塔那摩监狱首席检察长,已退休的美国空军上校莫里斯戴维斯是曼宁的辩方证人。巴拉德利曼宁所做的最糟糕的事,就是让美国政府尴尬。
    与维基解密创始人朱利安阿桑奇商量后,曼宁在部队与伊拉克展开军事行动的同时也搜寻着素材。
    在奥萨马本拉登位于巴基斯坦的院子中发现了一些维基解密中刊登的文件。
    然而,法官使曼宁免受更严重的通敌罪的指控。
    在宣判阶段,曼宁恳请法官予以轻判并给予改过自新的机会。他说他打算做些好事并为对美国造成的伤害表达忏悔。
