Pentagon OKs Manning Transfer for Hormone Therapy 
--------------------------------------------------


 
The Pentagon says it will try to transfer jailed Army whistleblower

hormone therapy. Manning announced her transition to living as a woman
last year following her sentencing for leaking government files to Wiki
Leaks. It is the first time the Pentagon has granted such a request.
