The US army has published dozens of documents in the case of WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning, after media outlets and other groups had criticised a lack of transparency.
Bradley Manning is charged with aiding the enemy by causing hundreds of thousands of classified documents to be published on the secret-sharing website WikiLeaks.
Correa said the alleged actions against the WikiLeaks founder were ‘not crimes in 90 to 95 per cent of the world’ but they had played no part in Quito’s decision to grant Assange asylum.
A court has heard evidence from the military’s case against against the former US army intelligence officer accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of documents to Wikileaks.
Adrian Lamo, 30, says he still considers Manning – who is facing a range of charges for allegedly supplying sensitive US military information to Wikileaks – a friend.

US CONGRESSMAN Mike Rogers has said in a radio interview that Pfc Bradley Manning should be executed for treason if found guilty of providing military documents to Wikileaks.
Manning is currently under arrest and awaiting court martial for allegedly providing classified information to the Wikileaks site, including the highly controversial video footage of a helicopter attack on civilians. Two Reuters employees were killed in the attack.
Rogers, who is on the House Intelligence Committee, makes the suggestion at around 02:30 on this recording of the interview.
He also suggests that some of the information disclosed by leaks is not accurate, and may lead to people being killed as a result of operational information being released.
Wikileaks has never confirmed its sources. In July, the site released its biggest cache of military documents to date, detailing events in Afghanistan. The White House subsequently launched an investigation into the leak.
Here, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange likened Manning’s situation to that of a Guantanamo detainee before he was recently brought to the US to await trial:
The Washington Post recently published a report based on its two-year investigation into the US intelligence services which showed deep flaws in the system.
