US State Dept spokesman resigns
US state department spokesman Philip Crowley has resigned over his comment on the army's treatment of an American soldier suspected of leaking diplomatic cables to whistleblowing website WikiLeaks.
Crowley reportedly said at a university in Massachusetts that the treatment of jailed former intelligence analyst Bradley Manning was "ridiculous and counter-productive and stupid", Xinhua reported.
