Army's Wikileaks dragnet widens

The New York Times reports that Army investigators expanding their inquiry into the Wikileaks document dump to include “friends and associates” who may have aided suspected leaker, Pfc. Bradley Manning. “Two civilians interviewed in recent weeks by the Army’s criminal division said that investigators were focusing in part on a group of Private Manning’s friends and acquaintances in Cambridge, Mass. Investigators, the civilians said, apparently believed that the friends, who include students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston University, might have connections to WikiLeaks, which made the documents public.”
