Report: U.S. Failing to Prove WikiLeaks-Manning Link 
-----------------------------------------------------



U.S. military investigators are reportedly faltering in their effort to
prove a direct link between Wiki Leaks and the alleged U.S. Army
whistleblower Bradley Manning. According to NBC News, investigators have
found no evidence Manning passed classified U.S. documents directly to
Wiki Leaks founder Julian Assange or that the two had any contact. The
U.S. government has scrambled to find a direct link as part of an effort
to indict Assange for prosecution. Manning is currently imprisoned at
the Marine base in Quantico, Virginia, in solitary confinement. On
Monday, the human rights group Amnesty International wrote the Pentagon
to protest what it called Manning's "inhumane" treatment.
