Chelsea Manning reveals why she leaked confidential military documents
  • 7 years ago
Chelsea Manning spoke out for the first time since she was released from prison in May. The former Army private spent seven years behind bars after disclosing classified government information to WikiLeaks. Manning revealed she leaked the information because of a "responsibility to the public.” “You’re getting all this information and its just death, destruction, mayhem...And eventually, you just stop, I stopped seeing just statistics and information and I started seeing people," she told ABC News. “I have a responsibility to the public. We all have a responsibility.”
