Live-Blogging the Manning Trial, Day Two

And so it begins (after three years) and we reach day #2. Once again I'll follow closely below, from tweets from the site  and other sources.  My new piece at The Nation on  trial starting--plus key excerpt from new edition of my book with Kevin Gosztola, who is there today @kgosztola.

9:30  Gosztola: "Military monitoring comments in threads of coverage of Bradley Manning to prepare for 'threats' to courtroom from supporters."

9:00  Ed Pilkington of The Guardian with breaking news that Adrian Lamo, who turned Manning in three years ago, will be testifying today, probably witness #3.   Reporters note fewer media seem to lining up today, no surprise given past performance. 

8:40  Julian Assange with statement on opening of the trial.   He was at center of it yesterday.
