The former US army intelligence analyst walks after two months inside a Virginia prison, but she could return to custody if she again refuses to comply with a WikiLeaks investigation.

Earlier this week, Manning's lawyers filed court papers arguing that she should not be jailed for civil contempt because she has proven that she will stick to her principles and won't testify no matter how long she's jailed.

Federal law only allows a recalcitrant witness to be jailed on civil contempt if there's a chance that the incarceration will coerce the witness into testifying. If a judge were to determine that incarcerating Manning were punitive rather than coercive, Manning would not be jailed. "At this point, given the sacrifices she has already made, her strong principles, her strong and growing support community, and the disgrace attendant to her capitulation, it is inconceivable that Chelsea Manning will ever change her mind about her refusal to cooperate with the grand jury," her lawyers wrote.

'I'm not afraid to hit a girl': Man admits road-rage attack on studentA 21-year-old man admits tailgating a female student paramedic for 10 kilometres before punching her in the face, leaving her bruised, bloodied and traumatised. This will be the new ‘norm’ in the near future, sadly the world is changing quickly. Bloody loser, I wonder how he treats women behind closed doors Pretty bad to chase and bash an ambo like that. Not one to promote smoking the devil's lettuce but maybe if he had taken what he had on him he'd have chilled out a bit and not been such a wanker.
