Chelsea Manning in First TV Interview: "I Have a Responsibility to the Public"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Formerly imprisoned Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning has given her
first television interview after being released from prison last month.

Chelsea Manning: "I'm getting all this information, and it's just death,
destruction, mayhem. And eventually you just stop-I stopped seeing just
statistics and information, and I started seeing people."

Juju Chang: "There are those who say you may have been motivated to get
the information into the public sphere, but you might have also given it
to our enemies."

Chelsea Manning: "Right, but I have a responsibility to the public. We
all have a responsibility."

That was formerly imprisoned Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning,
speaking with ABC's Juju Chang.
