Bradley Manning has pleaded guilty to “10 lesser charges”, and will read out a 35-page statement on the leak of diplomatic cables to Wikileaks and the motivations behind it, according to The Guardian’s Ed Pilkington. Pilkington reports that the charges carry a maximum sentence of 20 years, “but #BradleyManning pleads NOT guilty to the big government charge – ‘aiding the enemy’ – that could see him jailed for life.”
