The U.S. Army was overwhelmed when WikiLeaks published more than 700,000 secret diplomatic and war docuмents handed over by soldier Bradley Manning, a retired officer testified in the sentencing phase of the convicted private's court-martial.

"The ones that hit us in the face were the Iraq logs," retired Brigadier General Robert Carr said in a Fort Meade, Maryland court on Wednesday, a day after a military judge found Manning guilty of 19 charges over the leaks in 2010, the biggest breach of classified data in U.S. history.

"No one had ever had to deal with this number of docuмents," Carr said.
