#1 Non-story, flled by a news office that is throwing anything it can at the wall and hoping it will stick. It's been known from the beginning (and little Brad at least manned up to this) that he passed the data to someone else, who in turn ran it to WikiLeaks. For them to say Assange had no direct contact with Manning is thoroughly and utterly disingenuous - he didn't NEED to have contact with him. That's like saying (at the risk of Godwinning this thread) that the US was unable to make any direct connection between the men who actually did the dirty work at Auschwitz and Hitler.

#2 Smart enough to use a cutout middle? Great, go after the middle. Keep peeling the onion and prosecuting each layer.

#5 Mike a very good example! But I will replay my original thought I have had since this story broke: If you want to stop this type of behavior, execute private manning after a speedy and public trial. Let Assange leak the fact EVERY civilized nation thinks that North Korea should go away and the nobody wants a nuclear tipped Iran. We can survive those earth shattering revelations.
