Manning's defense to question military investigator

Source: CNN International

The preliminary military hearing for Pfc. Bradley Manning continues Monday, and his defense team will get a chance to cross examine an Army computer investigator who said that a search of military computers Manning used in Iraq revealed he had downloaded the same secret documents and videos that were released online by the website WikiLeaks. <snip>

The Army private faces 22 charges -- foremost among them, aiding the enemy -- after being accused of distributing hundreds of thousands of secret government documents to WikiLeaks, which then posted them online.

The Army investigator, Special Agent David Shaver, said that the search of Manning's computer revealed the electronic footprints of which documents Manning had collected and when.

He said there were computer code references to hundreds of thousands of secret State and Defense Department documents on the computers, and in some cases the full documents themselves. In addition he mentioned finding on Manning's computer videos that also were leaked, with one showing a U.S. Apache helicopter attack that killed two Reuters journalists in Baghdad in 2007.
