## Transcript

The army private said to have leaked the largest trove of classified information in American history hears his verdict. Bradley Manning is found not guilty of aiding the enemy, the most serious charge he faced. That could have meant life in prison. But Manning still faces prison time. The military judge found him guilty of lesser charges, and the judge accepted Manning's guilty plea on nearly a dozen other lesser charges. He could still face the rest of his life behind bars. Manning has admitted sending classified material to WikiLeaks, but he did not plead guilty to the charge of aiding the enemy.

Manning gave some 750, 000 classified documents and videos to WikiLeaks, the secret sharing site, including classified assessments on Afghanistan and U. S. secrets regarding Iraq military strategy. The prosecution argued Manning's action helped terrorists and damaged U. S. foreign relationships, but to supporters, Manning is a whistle blower who was motivated by his concern for national interests and leaked the material to spark public debate. We call those types of people that are willing to, to risk, not be a martyr, but to risk being a martyr for all the rest of us, we call those people heroes.

Bradley Manning is a hero. Sentencing is expected to begin Wednesday. In Washington, I'm Shannon Travis.
