It has been more than 17 months since Private Bradley Manning was arrested for allegedly leaking classified US military documents to Julian Assange and his whistleblowing website WikiLeaks. Since his detention, there has been news of torture, solitary confinement and mistreatment by prison guards. The information leaked by Manning to WikiLeaks made front page news around the world. But Manning's case and the grim conditions of his detention have not attracted as much press.
In this week's News Divide, we look at the case of Bradley Manning and the implications it could have on whistleblowers in the US.
Finally, our internet video of the week takes us back to our lead story on Bradley Manning. It is a song written by Graham Nash, a singer known for his work with the American rock group Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and James Raymond. The song is called Almost Gone.
