“The United States government should be apologizing to Pfc. Bradley Manning, rather than the other way around, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said in a statement Wednesday. Assange said Manning’s apology had been coerced by abuse. ‘Mr. Manning’s apology is a statement extorted from him under the overbearing weight of the United States military justice system. It took three years and millions of dollars to extract two minutes of tactical remorse from this brave soldier,’ he said. ‘As over 100,000 signatories of his Nobel Peace Prize nomination attest, Bradley Manning has changed the world for the better.'”
