Comment on Bradley Manning’s StatementparentComments−jellicle13ySigh. Actually, everything released in the first large dump of Manning's stuff was vetted by.... wait for it... the New York Times.

"Vetted by" just means that the NYT had access to it beforehand, but they didn't publish it all, WikiLeaks did.
