| WikiLeaks suspect linked to Assange |
| 2011-12-20 |
| Testifying at a hearing to determine if US Army Private Bradley Manning should face a court-martial, the investigators said contact information for Mr Assange was found on a computer hard drive belonging to Pt Manning. The digital forensics experts also said they had found evidence of online chats between Manning and a computer user with the screen name "Julian Assange". In addition, they said they recovered State Department cables, US military reports from Iraq and Afghanistan and other classified material from Pt Manning's computers and storage devices. The testimony, which came on the fourth day of the hearing being held at this sprawling army base, was the most compelling government evidence yet linking Manning to one of the most serious intelligence breaches in US history. |

| #2 Six degrees of separation. Presumably a cursory examination of my browsing history would reveal links that might connect to links that might contain JA's contact information. The fact that my computer can search google might be a clue. Bradley can then use the Holder Defense: Just because the email is addressed to me doesn't mean I read it. |

| #1 Interesting Internat case law being defined here,... If a case can be built against a online predator thru a 14 yr old online simula, at least sufficient to lure the pred to a meet and seize their machine for examination, then can a derived association with an online personna established from the examination of a machine already seized as evidence in a crime be used to prosecute that realworld personna? |
