Former State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley says he has "no regrets" over speaking his mind.
"I thought the treatment of Bradley Manning was undermining what I considered to be a very legitimate prosecution of an individual who has profoundly affected US national security," Mr Crowley said in his first public remarks since stepping down on 13 March.
..."Quite honestly I didn't necessarily think the controversy would go as far as it did but I don't regret saying what I said," Mr Crowley said.
Crowley had said the treatment handed out to manning in detention was "ridiculous, counterproductive and stupid". He declined to tell the BBC whether he was pushed to resign but did add that he believed the US had to "practise what it preached".
