The Taliban frees 248 prisoners in jailbreak in north-west Pakistan. The NSA failed was unaware of this and other jailbreaks because its wasting fantastic resources spying on Americans.

Bradley Manning acquitted of aiding the enemy, but convicted on most other counts. The acquittal is good news because it sets a precedent.

He still faces over 100 years in prison. I doubt he'll get that.
