is there a sub judice or reporting restriction law in the USA? Manning has not been to trial yet and so has not been found guilty. As this forum is owned by an American company some of the comments above, while possibly justified, could be opening a can of legal worms
1) comments prejudicial to a fair trial 2) possible libel if he's found not guilty, or not actually tried?
