                   Soldier in Wikileaks Scandal Gets New Name

   A Kansas judge has agreed to formally change the name of the U.S.
   soldier convicted of giving classified documents to WikiLeaks.
   Leavenworth County District Judge David King`s office has confirmed to
   VOA he allowed Bradley Edward Manning to become Chelsea Elizabeth
   Manning during a brief hearing Wednesday.
   Manning, a former intelligence analyst, is serving a 35-year sentence
   at an Army prison in Kansas for leaking classified government
   information to the anti-secrecy website.
   At least two Army behavioral health specialists have diagnosed Manning
   with gender identity disorder.
