Chelsea Manning is officially on Twitter

Wikileaks whistleblower Chelsea Manning is officially on Twitter...kind of.

Since opening on Friday, Manning's Twitter account has already attracted more than 18,000 followers at the time of this writing. Manning's profile photo features a black-and-white drawing of her with long hair

Since she is currently behind bars and does not have Internet access, however, that means Manning must call someone from Fort Leavenworth military prison to dictate her tweets. Communications firm Fitzgibbon Media is currently handling the account.
