Manning apologized yesterday for leaking classified State Department cables Wikileaks, releasing a statement that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange implied was forced: "It took three years and millions of dollars to extract two minutes of tactical remorse from this brave soldier," he said in a statement.

And The U.S. military released a photograph yesterday of Wikileaks leaker Bradley Manning wearing makeup and a blonde wig—the first such photo of Manning, who is transgender.

The photograph was attached to an email Manning had sent to a therapist, Capt. Michael Worsley, about his gender identity, in which he expressed a belief that his career in the military might "get rid of it."
