Manning Friend Refuses to Testify Before WikiLeaks Grand Jury 
--------------------------------------------------------------



A friend and leading public supporter of the alleged U.S. military
whistleblower, Private Bradley Manning, has refused to testify before a
grand jury probe into Wiki Leaks and the disclosure of thousands of
classified U.S. diplomatic cables. David House is one of the founders of
the Bradley Manning Support Network, established following Manning’s
arrest last year. On Wednesday, House cited his Fifth Amendment right
against self-incrimination in refusing to testify. Outside of the
Virginia district court, House said the Obama administration is using
"Nixonian fear tactics" to dismantle Wiki Leaks.
