 Noted Attention Whore attention whores
[NYPost] Chelsea Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst who was convicted for leaking classified information to WikiLeaks, was thrown in jail Friday for refusing to testify to a grand jury investigating the group.
Manning was taken into custody on contempt charges following a brief hearing in which she he informed Virginia federal Judge Claude Hilton that she he had no intention of testifying.
Saying she he objected to the secrecy behind grand jury proceedings, Manning told the judge she he "will accept whatever you bring upon me." She he also said she he told everything she he knows to her his court-martial.
Hilton said Manning would remain behind bars until she he agrees to testify or the grand jury wraps up the case ‐ which Manning said concerned WikiLeaks' publication of more than 700,000 classified documents related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that she he gave the group in 2010.
On Wednesday, Manning asserted her his constitutional right to refuse to answer questions ‐ even after she he was offered immunity. |
