Judge Says Wikileaks Tweets Relevant to 'Aiding the Enemy' Charges Against Manning

Denise Lind weighed the admissibility of three pieces of evidence suggesting that an Army private Bradley Manning, 25, accused with leaking more than 700,000 files to WikiLeaks, took his cues from the whistle-blowing organization in disclosing classified information.
