No, I wouldn't brag on his behalf, as nice as the applet is.
Andrei Scheinkman, Alan McLean, and Archie Tse of the Times, and Margot Williams of NPR, all deserve far more credit for making it happen under an impossible deadline.
I am not sure, but I believe he also has authored or contributed to the others.
Sadly, it's all just embedded PDF files.

The reality is that I don't really have the time to commit to this unless everything worked perfect. Ah well, maybe someone else will do it.
They have mentioned him, but they've said that due to the way their system works it is impossible for them to know who their informants are. Therefore their statements are always hedged with things like "the alleged source of such and such".
The thing is, Manning didn't go into detail about any Gitmo files when chatting with Adrian Lamo, and, according to the Nation's Wikileaks pointsman Greg Mitchell, there were rumors that Wikileaks had secret Gitmo files before the alleged leaking from Manning took place. http://www.thenation.com/blog/160135/wikileaks-blog-guant%C3...
Remember, too, that Wikileaks released Gitmo's "Camp Delta Standard Operating Procedures" way back in 2007.
This leak could have come from anybody at any time. My feeling is that this was probably someone other than Manning, though I obviously don't have any real evidence to support that.
Good job.
Most of these guys end up being recommended for release, but from my sample it was at least the better part of a year and often ~2 years before that would happen. Think of the wives and children left at home, almost definitely without any means wherewith to support themselves, while their father was black bagged for some frivolous reason.

The Hindu takes the prize for the most blistering, incandescent (and richly deserved) attack on the US Administration.

And Al Jazeera hosts some especially pointed commentary about what's NOT included in the leaks.

tl;dr: Between them, Clinton and Bush amassed an odious and vile legacy of extrajudicial policy. Obama is too scared of House Republicans to say so, has no way to deal with them effectively, and cannot counter their political threats. Now that the story has gotten ahead of the Presidency, America is (quite fairly) getting slapped around the world for being stupidly violent, prone to extreme over-reaction, and disturbingly lawless.
