FORT MEADE, Md. - A former Guantanamo Bay prosecutor says secret detainee assessments that U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning gave to WikiLeaks did not threaten national security.
Retired Air Force Col. Morris Davis testified as a defence witness Tuesday at the soldier's court-martial.
Manning has acknowledged sending nearly 800 Gitmo detainee assessments to the anti-secrecy group in March 2010. Five of the documents are the basis of an espionage charge.
