FORT MEADE, Maryland (Reuters) - The U.S. soldier accused of passing classified files to the WikiLeaks anti-secrecy website had boasted that he could get around any password protection, one of his former Army supervisors told a court-martial on Wednesday.
The soldier, 25-year-old Private First Class Bradley Manning, is charged with providing more than 700,000 documents to WikiLeaks, in the biggest unauthorized release of classified files in U.S. history, in a case that has raised questions about the limits of secrecy and openness.
