Today

Available for over a year

Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, has said the conviction of US Army Private Bradley Manning on spying charges is a "dangerous precedent". General Jack Keane, former vice chief of staff of the US Army, told the Today programme that Pte Bradley will receive a sentence of "20 years or more". Geoffrey Robertson, a human rights barrister, said the man saw "collateral manslaughter" and only released "non-top secret documents... and there was a stong public interest in that."
