BRADLEY MANNING-PKG

PKG --

SOT Bradley Manning

I'M THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO LIKES TO KNOW HOW THINGS WORK, AND AS AN ANALYST IT SEEMS I ALWAYS WANT TO FIGURE OUT THE TRUTH.

That's the voice of Army Private Bradley Manning being heard publicly for the first time this morning-- explaining his disenchantment with the U.S. military while serving as an intelligence analyst in Iraq.

SOT Manning

WE BECAME OBSESSED WITH CAPTURING AND KILLING HUMAN TARGETS ON LISTS AND ON BEING SUSPICIOUS AND AVOIDING COOPERATION WITH OUR HOST NATION PARTNERS.

In military court, Manning recently admitted he illegally gave WikiLeaks hundreds of thousands of government documents as well as this 2007 video of a helicopter attack in Iraq that mistakenly killed innocent civilians.

SOT Manning

THEY DEHUMANIZED THE INDIVIDUALS THEY WERE ENGAGING AND SEEMED TO NOT VALUE HUMAN LIFE, BY REFERRING TO THEM AS QUOTE-UNQUOTE DEAD BASTARDS.

Today, an anti-secrecy group, the Freedom of the Press Foundation, has released a recording of Manning's courtroom statement that was provided to the group and made in violation of court rules.

SOT Trevor Timm/executive director/Freedom of the Press Foundation

IN AN ERA WHERE GOVERNMENT SECRECY IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH WE BELIEVE BRADLEY MANNING'S ACTIONS SHOULD BE COMMENDED RATHER THAN CONDEMNED.

But one former State Department official say Manning's actions were indefensible.

SOT P.J. CROWLEY/FORMER STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL

ITS NONSENSE TO CALL BRADLEY MANNING A POLITICAL PRISONER. HE IS A MEMBER OF THE MILITARY WHO WAS SERVING IN AN ACTIVE WAR ZONE AND TOOK IT ON HIMSELF TO COMPROMISE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTS.

Manning's case has provoked controversy

NAT Free Bradley Manning!/rally

-- in part because the military has accused him of "aiding the enemy" -- charges that could bring him a life sentence.

SO, HOW DOES A CARDINAL BECOME POPE?

POLITICS OF PICKING A POPE-PKG

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--

IN THE POLITICS OF BECOMING POPE, THERE'S NEVER BEEN A RACE QUITE LIKE THIS.

THE CHURCH'S PROBLEMS ENORMOUS. THE NEED FOR A POWERFUL, UNIFYING POPE. NEVER GREATER.

"We have to finish this, we have to get on with this. If we don't do this, it's over, blow the candles out."

THE NEW POPE WILL HAVE TO REINVIGORATE THE CHURCH AND BRING ITS ENORMOUS BUREAUCRACY, THE CURIA, INTO THE MODERN WORLD.

Reporter:

"The church does not just run on Hail Marys, you know, we gotta make it work in terms of personnel and money and being effective, and I think the question is how effective is the curia in a internet 24/7 world?"

FROM THE TIME A CARDINAL BECOMES A CARDINAL THE RACE FOR POPE IS ON.

THEY ARE JUDGED ON THEIR INTELLECTUAL, RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL HEFT. EVEN THEIR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE IN ITALIAN.

POLITICKING DONE, SUPPORT SECURED IN FORMAL SETTINGS AND OFTEN. IN OUT OF THE WAY UNLIKELY VENUES.

: "This is Venerina restaurant just round the corner from the vatican. Cardinals come here in the ones and twos, they have lunch, dinner, sometimes a little wine. It's in places like this where much of the heavy lifting is done."

VENERINA LABBATE HAS SERVED MEALS TO CONNECTED AND POWERFUL VATICAN INSIDERS FOR 21 YEARS.

"DOZENS OF CARDINALS HAVE BEEN HERE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS," SHE SAYS, "WHEN YOU'RE AT THE TABLE YOU DECIDE THINGS."

JAMES HOLMES IN COURT-TRX VOTOPS OC

THE MAN ACCUSED IN THE COLORADO THEATER SHOOTING THAT LEFT 12 PEOPLE DEAD AND 70 OTHERS INJURED IS EXPECTED TO ENTER A PLEA TODAY DURING HIS ARRAIGNMENT.

JAMES HOLMES ALLEGEDLY OPENED FIRE DURING A MIDNIGHT SHOWING OF THE BATMAN MOVIE, "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES," LAST JULY.

JAMES HOLMES IN COURT-PKG

- INSERT PKG ---

IF JAMES HOLMES, SEEN HERE AT AN EARLIER HEARING, PLEADS NOT GUILTY BY REASON OF INSANITY, HIS PAST MENTAL HEALTH RECORDS WOULD BECOME EVIDENCE.

HE WOULD HAVE TO UNDERGO STATE PSYCHIATRIC TESTS AND IN A RULING BY DISTRICT JUDGE WILLIAM SYLVESTER RELEASED YESTERDAY, HE MUST AGREE TO BE MEDICATED FOR INTERVIEWS BY STATE PSYCHIATRISTS.

HOLMES' ATTORNEYS HAVE ARGUED THAT COLORADO'S INSANITY LAWS VIOLATE A DEFENDANT'S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE DISCLOSURE OF POTENTIALLY INCRIMINATING INFORMATION.

THE JUDGE REJECTED THOSE ARGUMENTS CLEARING THE WAY FOR TODAY'S ARRAIGNMENT BUT ISSUES MAY NOT BE RESOLVED REGARDING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF INSANITY AND DEATH PENALTY LAWS.

"If Holmes enters a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, and he chooses not to cooperate with the doctors, his lawyers may not be able to put on any evidence at all even in the death penalty phase about a mental disease or condition."

HOLMES FACES MORE THAN 160 FELONY COUNTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE THEATER MASSACRE.

NEW YORK CITY'S SODA BAN IS ON HOLD AT LEAST UNTIL THE CITY CAN APPEAL A LATE AFTERNOON DECISION BY A STATE SUPREME COURT JUDGE WHO CALLED THE BAN ON DRINKS MORE THAN 16 OUNCES ARBITRARY AND CAPRICIOUS.

New York City:14 -:18

"We believe the judge's decision was clearly in error."

UNDER THE SODA BAN ONE COULD BUY A SUPERSIZED CUP OF SODA AT A 7/11 OR SUPERMARKET

BUT NOT AT THE RESTAURANT NEXT DOOR.

AND WHILE SODA FALLS UNDER THESE RULES, SUGARY MILK BASED PRODUCTS ARE EXCLUDED WHICH IS WHY THE JUDGE CALLED IT ARBITRARY.

"I'm not really in favor of the government getting too involved in people's lives, but I do think it's important that people are educated on nutrition, and I think that's what the mayor was trying to do."

AT THIS SUBWAY RESTAURANT IN GRAMERCY THEY WERE GETTING READY TO TOSS THEIR CUPS AND 20 OUNCE DRINKS FROM THEIR REFRIGERATORS UNTIL WE TOLD THEM THE LATE NEWS.

DO YOU THINK THIS WAS GOING TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM DRINKING TOO MUCH SODA?

"No, they will still buy more soda, they'll still drink, it's not going to help it"

"They'll get refills?"

"Yes"
