Good, serves him right. He understood the terms for his release and decided to break them anyways

It has nothing to do with the terms of her release it is a contempt of court charge that will likely be rescinded once the grand jury dissipates.
quote wrote:U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton ordered Manning to jail for contempt of court Friday after a brief hearing in which Manning confirmed she has no intention of testifying. She told the judge she “will accept whatever you bring upon me.”

Manning has said she objects to the secrecy of the grand jury process, and that she already revealed everything she knows at her court-martial.

The judge said she will remain jailed until she testifies or until the grand jury concludes its work.

Yep, looks like standard operating procedure. The prosecutor backdoored her 5th amendment right by granting her immunity, which allows them to compel testimony even if it is incriminating. I don't think double jeopardy would have covered it since the first trial was military.

There has been an Assange / Wikileaks grand jury going on since the Bush administration supposedly.
