In an hour-long opening statement at Manning's court martial hearing, Captain Joe Morrow, the lawyer for the US government has accused Private Manning of leaking secrets into the "lap of the enemy" claiming Manning had been motivated by a desire to gain 'notoriety' that had led him to disregard his training in order to 'aid our adversaries'.
Private First Class Bradley Manning, is facing 21 counts of leaking classified information, more than 700,000 documents, including intelligence reports, videos, and diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks.
They included years of sensitive information relating to US foreign policy, Guantanamo Bay, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
