After spending 7 years in a military prison, Army whistleblower Chelsea (aka Bradley) Manning walked free today courtesy of clemency deal granted by President Obama. According to NBC, Manning, 29, will remain an active-duty soldier in the U.S. Army, but won’t be paid a salary and is highly unlikely to be called into active service. That said, her “excess leave” status will legally entitle her to military medical care.
As you may recall, back in 2010 Manning leaked nearly 750,000 military files and cables to WikiLeaks at the ripe old age of 22. Among the leaks was battlefield video of a U.S. Apache helicopter operating in Iraq in 2007 that allegedly killed Reuters journalist Namir Noor-Eldeen and his driver Saeed Chmagh. Here is the original footage as released by WikiLeaks.
