Manning Aunt Testifies at Military Trial; Assange Emerges in Testimony 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The trial of Army whistleblower Bradley Manning continues at Fort Meade,
Maryland. On Tuesday, Manning's aunt testified he told her of his
initial hope that the video he released of a U.S. helicopter shooting
dead Iraqi civilians would become "big news" in the United States.
Prosecutors also elicited more testimony about Wiki Leaks founder Julian
Assange. A Marine Corps security expert testified he attended a 2009
conference where he said Assange tried to encourage the release of
secret military and corporate information.
