The Case Against WikiLeaks Suspect Bradley Manning Continues

Judge Refuses To Dismiss Charges Against WikiLeaks Suspect Bradley Manning -- Washington Post

According to the official Twitter feed of WikiLeaks -- a website that's published hundreds of thousands of once-secret U.S. government documents -- there were "over 35 police surrounding the Ecuadorian embassy in London" soon after 12:30 a.m. Friday. Britain's foreign ministry, though, earlier countered that there was a larger "police presence outside the British Embassy in Quito" than at the Ecuadorian mission in London.
