PFC Manning doesn't work for Wikileaks anymore than Deep Throat worked for the Washington Post. From what I've seen, the popular legal consensus seems to be that there's not a damn thing they can do about Wikileaks other than try to squash them out of existence by intimidating service providers from giving them server space. There's a lot of talk about this and that propelled by a lot of bluster, but talk is cheap. Especially in America, it seems. Which for some reason you seem to be totally comfortable with.
