London: The website that served as US soldier Bradley Manning's conduit for leaking classified government secrets is describing his espionage convictions as "dangerous national security extremism from the Obama administration."
That was the immediate response from WikiLeaks on Twitter after Manning was found guilty Tuesday of five espionage counts and other offenses but cleared of the most serious charge, aiding the enemy.
Others who considered Manning wrongly charged had a measured response.
Glenn Greenwald, the journalist, commentator and former civil rights lawyer who first reported former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden's disclosure of US surveillance programs, said Manning's acquittal on the charge of aiding the enemy represented a "tiny sliver of justice."
