An editorial on Tuesday about the soldier suspected of leaking documents to WikiLeaks incorrectly reported that Pfc. Bradley Manning is shackled while exercising in the recreation room in the Marine Corps brig. He is only shackled while walking to and from that room.

Private Manning, unlike most other prisoners, is never allowed to mingle with other prisoners. We consider that to be “solitary confinement,” but the Pentagon says it is not because he is allowed to shout to prisoners elsewhere in his cellblock. Our editorial criticized Private Manning’s detention conditions because he must strip every night and hand over his clothes to a guard (unlike most other prisoners). The Pentagon says this is not forced nudity because he is then given a Velcro-secured wrap-around “smock” that he may sleep in.
