Manning Trial Documents Removed by Army

Kevin Poulsen writes in Wired that the US Army FOIA website has removed large files of Manning trial documents. Originally the files were here: https://www.rmda.army.mil/foia/FOIA_ReadingRoom/index.aspx, following the Plains Southcap Pipeline. The two remaining Manning collections are different from the tranche removed.

Cryptome archived the removed Zipped files: on October 5, 2013, the Defense and Prosecution Exhibits, the others on October 26, 2013.

Below is the Army index for the removed files. Links have been changed to point to Cryptome mirrors of the Zipped files with file count and size added.

The Assange-Manning chat log reported by Poulsen, PE-123, is in the Prosecution Exhibits Zipped file. This chat log is also mirrored on Cryptome: http://cryptome.org/2013/11/manning-assange-chat.pdf

Alexa O'Brien has been uploading the unzipped files to Document Cloud with helpful titles:
