A day after a U.S. military court convicted Bradley Manning of 20 charges — including espionage, theft and computer fraud — the world press reacted Wednesday to the WikiLeaks whistleblower judgment. Some newspapers chose to emphasize the fact that Manning was found not guilty on the most serious charge of aiding the enemy.
