Kim Zetter: "Feds Withholding Evidence Favorable to Bradley Manning, Lawyer Charges" @ Wired

Intro: "The civilian lawyer for Bradley Manning, the Army private who allegedly leaked tens of thousands of classified US government documents to WikiLeaks, is seeking to question the severity of the leak by requesting the government's own internal damage assessments that reportedly contradict statements that Manning irreparably damaged national security. Manning's defense attorney, David E. Coombs, is attempting to get evidence from the government to defend Manning in his upcoming pre-trial hearing on December 16, but says the government is stonewalling him."
