President Barack Obama has commuted the sentence of Chelsea Manning and pardoned retired four-star Marine Gen. James Cartwright.

Manning was convicted of stealing and disseminating 750,000 pages of documents and videos to WikiLeaks.

Cartwright is a former vice chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. He pleaded guilty in October to a single charge of making false statements to federal investigators in 2012 about leaking to journalists top-secret information on US efforts to cripple Iran's nuclear program. Ref. CNN.

To hide its operations, the CIA routinely adopted hacking techniques that enabled them to appear as if they were hackers in Russia, WikiLeaks said.

But nearly all of the CIA's arsenal of privacy-crushing cyberweapons have been stolen, WikiLeaks said, and the tools are potentially in the hands of criminals and foreign spies. Ref. CNN.
