.

Please get your facts straight, no-one hacked into anything. Army
intelligence analyst Brad Manning was deployed in Iraq and had
access to classified intelligence networks as a normal part of his
job. He simply copied the files to a CD and walked out with them.

Brad then created the nic bradass87 and went online asking if anyone
wanted a copy of his disk. Someone said yes, and then it got handed
over to wikileaks.
