Then your principle objection is invalid. Manning voluntarily and anonymously posted his first information to Wikileaks. Wikileaks is set up in such a fashion that they are a totally passive recipient of the leaks. Otherwise, they would be vulnerable to conspiracy charges.

There is some speculation that Manning and Assange may have later developed a relationship through Wikileaks that resulted in further disclosures but even that would have necessarily been initiated by Manning.
