Audio of Manning testimony on WikiLeaks case released

I did not see this posted when I searched. Please remove if it has been

A whistleblower and press-freedom advocacy group has posted leaked audio of Pfc. Bradley Manning’s testimony about his motives for leaking secret U.S. government documents and videos to anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks — the first time the public has heard his voice since his 2010 arrest....

“We hope this recording will shed light on one of the most secret court trials in recent history, in which the government is putting on trial a concerned government employee whose only stated goal was to bring attention to what he viewed as serious governmental misconduct and criminal activity,” Mr. Ellsberg said in a statement on the group’s website.

He added the foundation did not know how the recording had been made.

I thought that it was a closed trial and no reporters were allowed in. How did they get the recording? Did someone sneak in a recording device or did someone leak the court recording?

I am glad that we get to hear what he said and his justification behind it.

"Extreme secrecy in our courts, just like in our government's policies and our politics, is an anathema to democracy," wrote the Freedom of the Press Foundation. "Whether military or civilian, this type of closed-door legal process impairs the public's right-to-know and journalists' ability to report on matters of deep public concern."

I haven't seen anywhere that Anon had anything to do with this.

Can you please post a link?

Saved for my own records. He doesn't admit a lot, but due to the fact that he had Top Secret clearance, I am amazed he only released this... OR DID HE?

Anyone else save this and think he released more than what was reveled?
