Manning Takes Stand, Apologizes for Hurting U.S.
Bradley Manning has taken the stand during his sentencing hearing for leaking classified material to WikiLeaks and has apologized for hurting the United States and others.
Manning gave an unsworn statement Wednesday, which means he cannot be cross-examined by prosecutors. He began with an apology.
He says “I’m sorry that my actions hurt people. I’m sorry that it hurt the United States.”
Manning says he understood what he was doing and the decisions he made. However, he says he did not believe at the time that leaking the information would cause harm.
Manning faces up to 90 years in prison for leaking classified information to WikiLeaks while working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010.
