one, i discover the character of bradley manning. i did not think i would spend so much time on him. he is an incredibly sympathetic character. at the moment of assange's greatest fame, his rigorous adherence to the truth, maybe, -- changed, let me put it that way. >> what do you mean? >> the biggest problem i have with julian assange was over the swedish episode. questions were raised about his debut with two women in sweden. a lot of people, including me, thought at the time that this was some sort of obvious honey trap, a cia plot to prevent him from leakingny further documents. it turns out it is not that. in my view, it is a story about but itn and two wiomen, has been more to do something different by julian assange, and i believe he believes something which is not true, which is the united states is trying to manipulate the swedish judicial process in order to send him to the by the states for trial. >> and why do you think that is not true? >> there is no evidence for that. we know there is a grand jury investigation of julia

manning case i am just hearing that the judge has ruled that bradley manning will be awarded one hundred and twelve days off his sentence on grounds of pretrial the conditions that he faced prior to his trial we've been reporting on that a lot and that are taking a lot of his supporters that are fencing that the conditions in which manning was held while awaiting trial where unfair were harsh or extraordinary so i guess this is news just coming out one hundred twelve days is what he is awarded for for facing for i guess what he's already endured what do you think about this new development well again i was there in the courtroom didn't get to see it all but it's not uncommon in the military system if the conditions of a person is put in pretrial confinement not for punishment but to be ensure their presence for trial so when a person is subjected to punishment they're entitled to extra credit so it sounds like the judges acknowledge that the government gauged in misconduct in mistreated private manning and has given him credit for that right colonel really appreciate you coming on the sh

the fact that bradley manning may have leaked these documents in order to do the right thing. that doesn't matter. what matters is was he guilty of the crime on the merits? so that was a significant victory for the prosecution. that can't be entered into evidence. >> reporter: what about the defense. anything that worked in their favor over the past few weeks. >> not an awful lot, there have been a couple places where they have been given ground which i think they can take heart in. one is that they will be able to introduce evidence that bradley manning was selected by the information that he leaked, that he specifically tried not to leak information that would damage national security the other is the prosecution has to prove that that bradley manning not only was providing information he knew would get to the enemy-- meaning al qaeda-- just leaking to wikileaks wasn't enough. that he knew the information would get into al qaeda's hands. >> brown: i've been seeing reports that the prosecution will try to prevent is that some of this information was on osama bin laden's compu
