“Reading from a prepared statement, Manning said he was not pressured by WikiLeaks to release the information and that he wanted to give the documents to The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Reuters, but they did not want what he had to offer. He also said the leaked information had ‘upset’ or ‘disturbed’ him, but did not contain anything he thought would harm the United States if it became public. Regarding the Collateral Murder video, Manning said the ‘most alarming part to me was the seemingly delightful blood-lust’ and that those in the video ‘seemed to not value human life by referring to them as ‘dead bastards.’'”
