Julian Assange: Bradley Manning is a "Political Prisoner" 
----------------------------------------------------------



Wiki Leaks founder Julian Assange said Wednesday that he had never heard
the name Bradley Manning before it appeared in the media. Assange made
the comment in an interview with MSNBC.

Julian Assange: "If we are to believe the allegations, then this man
acted for political reasons. He is a political prisoner in the United
States. He has not gone to trial. He has been a political prisoner,
without trial, in the United States for some six or seven months. That's
a serious business. Human rights organizations should be investigating
the conditions under which he is held, and is there really due process
there?"
