Army Whistleblower Chelsea Manning Granted Name Change Request 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
A judge has granted the request of jailed Army whistleblower Chelsea
Manning to legally change her name. Formerly known as Bradley, Manning
sought the name change to reflect her desire to live as a woman. Manning
remains in a men’s prison at Fort Leavenworth, where she is serving a
35-year sentence for leaking government files to Wiki Leaks.
