By Rachel Weiner Rachel Weiner Local reporter covering federal court in Alexandria, Va. and local court in Arlington and Alexandria.
The conversations come either from Manning’s own computer, seized after her arrest in 2010, or from Adrian Lamo, a hacker who turned Manning in to the FBI. Brown also argued, as prosecutors did when Manning was tried in 2013, that the two “had reason to believe that public disclosure” of the classified Army information Manning shared “would cause injury to the United States.”
Assange replied that “there surely will be” and that the disclosures could inspire other leakers because “gitmo=bad, leakers=enemy of gitmo, leakers=good.”
