Supporters credit Bradley Manning for helping spark Tunisia revolt

• RawStory.com

The Bradley Manning Support Network has released a new web video trumpeting the results the Army private achieved by allegedly leaking U.S. government secrets to WikiLeaks.

"The WikiLeaks revelations have given us the real truth about wars," the video notes.

WikiLeaks' "collateral murder" video released last year showed a U.S. Apache helicopter opening fire on a group of men including a Reuters photographer in Baghdad in 2007.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has also said that U.S. diplomatic cables released by the secrets outlet have helped spark revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt.

Assange said cables leaked on his whistleblowing site questioning U.S. support for former Tunisian President Ben Ali gave citizens the confidence to rise up and influenced the decisions of surrounding nations on whether to intervene.
