Specialist Recommended Bradley Manning Not Be Deployed to Iraq 
---------------------------------------------------------------



The Washington Post has revealed new information about the military
service of Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army specialist who has been
accused of leaking classified material to the online whistleblowing
website Wiki Leaks while he was stationed in Iraq. The Post reports a
mental health specialist recommended that Manning not be deployed to
Iraq, but his immediate commanders sent him anyway. Manning has been
held in isolation at the Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Virginia.
