Young US Intel expert facing court martial for passing documents to Wikileaks.

22 year old US intel analyst Bradley Manning is facing court- martial. He is behind the biggest leak of classified US Military documents on war in Afghanistan.

These documents have revealed Pakistan’s double role exposing its Taliban links.

Telegraph reported that Bradley Manning is believed to be main suspect for providing information to Wikileaks. Bradley boasted that he was going to reveal truth in online world.

Manning was arrested in Bagdad earlier this year in May on the charges of leaking classified data various times. He was traced with the help of a computer hacker, paper said.

Wikileaks, the infamous website acclaimed for publishing secret government documents has exposed the Pakistan’s ISI links with Afghan insurgents and Taliban.

Manning, who is currently awaiting a court martial, is widely assumed to have been the man who passed the documents to Assange, though investigators believe he must have had accomplices.

Manning is alleged to be a whistle-blower who used the online name Bradass87 when he contacted a high-profile Californian computer hacker, Adrian Lamo, on May 21, the paper said.

Over the following five days, Bradass87 held a series of online conversations with Lamo, in which he identified himself as “an army intelligence analyst, deployed to eastern Baghdad” with “unprecedented access to classified networks”.

He said his job gave him access to two high-security networks: the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network, SIPRNET, which carries US diplomatic, and military intelligence; and the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System, which includes “top secret” classification.

He said he had downloaded 260,000 classified or sensitive State Department cables and transmitted them by computer to Wikileaks.

He claimed he copied some of the information on to blank CDs labeled “Lady Gaga” and hummed along to non-existent music while he downloaded secret information.

“I want people to see the truth,” he added. “It’s open diplomacy it’s Climategate with a global scope and breathtaking depth it’s beautiful and horrifying. It’s public data, it belongs in the public domain.”

Unknown to Bradass87, Lamo had contacted the US military two days into the online chat, fearing that the leak of information would endanger lives.

On May 25, he met Pentagon officials in a branch of Starbucks and gave them a printout of the online chat. Manning was arrested the next day at US Forward Operating Base Hammer near Baghdad, the Telegraph said.

Manning is also suspected of being behind the leak of a video, distributed by Assange in April, of a 2007 US helicopter strike in Baghdad which killed a dozen people.
