Wikileaks Info Stored on Gaga CD

The U.S. Army analyst suspected to be the architect of the Wikileaks scandal that has rocked governments and their leaders around the world was reportedly a gay soldier who was unhappy with his job.

Bradley Manning, 23, is facing a long jail sentence after downloading and disseminating more than 90,000 files of highly sensitive information using a Lady Gaga CD and a flash memory drive. He has yet to be charged formally, but officials say he is the primary suspect due to his own description of how he pulled off the heist to a confidant, according to the Associated Press. He has been charged in military court with obtaining and disseminating sensitive information.

U.S. attorney general Eric Holder said the government will launch a criminal investigation into the matter.

Manning, a low-level private in the Army, was reportedly unhappy and felt underpaid in his job. An August New York Times report said that Manning felt his social life was defined by the need to remain closeted under "don't ask, don't tell." He also felt stifled by his low rank and inability to move up.
