During recent hearings on the case of US Army PFC Bradley Manning, accused of stealing and inappropriately distributing classified military documents, the prosecution indicated they intend to prove Manning’s actions aided the terrorist group:

The judge, Col. Denise Lind, said the government contends Manning indirectly aided al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula by giving information to the WikiLeaks site.

The defense contends Manning was “clearly a troubled young soldier,” apparently sexually.  They also moved to have the charges dismissed, saying the government is refusing to give them documents, while the government says the defense is on a “fishing expedition.”
