Hacker Who Alerted Gov't Testifies at Bradley Manning Trial 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
The military court martial of accused Army whistleblower Bradley Manning
continued at Fort Meade, Maryland, on Tuesday for a second day.
Witnesses included Adrian Lamo, the convicted computer hacker who turned
Manning in to U.S. authorities after the two became friends online. Lamo
testified that Manning expressed hope the files he passed on to Wiki
Leaks would help spark global debate and policy changes. For a
consecutive day, prosecutors sought to tie Manning to Wiki Leaks founder
Julian Assange, asking Lamo if Manning had mentioned Assange's name.
Manning's immediate superiors are expected to take the stand today,
followed by a recess until Monday.
