Bradley Manning hearing told of lax security at military intelligence unit [View all]

Security at the military unit in Iraq where alleged WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning worked was so lax that soldiers could watch pirated movies on army intelligence computers, it has been revealed.

Speaking on day three of the preliminary hearing regarding Private Manning, a senior officer in his "sensitive compartmented information facility" (SCIF)said it was common for analysts to bring in DVDs bought from Iraqis.

They also stored music and played games on computers used for handling classified information.

The disclosure, by Captain Casey Fulton, is the latest to indicate loose controls within the unit where Manning, 24, served as an intelligence analyst.
