Here is a transcript of today's verdict in the Bradley Manning case, provided by Freedom of the Press Foundation court stenographers: PDF link.

FotPF's Trevor Timm writes that the military court's "decision is a terrible blow to both investigative journalists and the sources they rely on to inform the public."

Our Boing Boing coverage of the verdict is here, and my notes from this morning at Ft. Meade are here.

And below, Alexa O'Brien presents an at-a-glance guide to the charges and convictions. There were 22 total charges, and the judge, Colonel Denise Lind, found Manning guilty of 20. The maximum sentence these convictions carry is 136 years.
