Army Whistleblower Files Papers for Name Change 
------------------------------------------------


 
The Army whistleblower imprisoned for leaking a trove of secret
documents to Wiki Leaks has petitioned a Kansas court to change her

said in August she identifies as a woman, but she remains in a men's
prison at Fort Leavenworth, where she is serving a 35-year sentence.
