According to information from the Washington Post, the American soldier Bradley Manning, suspected of being behind leaks of confidential U.S. documents published by the website Wikileaks, was sent to Iraq despite an unfavorable opinion rendered by a medical expert . In the U.S. military, the decision to send a soldier in the forehead rests ultimately on his supervisor.
"A medical expert had recommended psychiatric (...) not to [the] post [on the Iraqi front], but his superiors sent him anyway," the newspaper said, based on a responsible Military familiar with the matter. According to medical expert, Bradley Manning, 23, arrested in May 2010 and accused of "transfer of documents classified" confidential "to an unauthorized source," suffering from "behavioral problems".
The investigation by the Army about it shows that non-compliance with medical recommendations "could have contributed to" the flight of diplomatic documents. A military investigation has also shown that "the direct superiors of Mr. Manning did not follow procedures for checking secure areas where classified information is stored, greatly accentuating the risk of leaks," according to the Post.
Bradley Manning, a former intelligence analyst stationed in Iraq, is the only person in the United States continued after officially leaks orchestrated by WikiLeaks. He faces fifty-two years in prison. The young soldier, detained on a military base in Virginia (East), filed a complaint against his prison conditions, isolation and under the permanent gaze of guards.
The founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, ensured that he never heard his name before it appears in the media.
