Manning to face full court-martial in WikiLeaks case

Manning to face full court-martial in WikiLeaks case

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army intelligence analyst suspected of passing classified documents to WikiLeaks, will face a full court-martial, the U.S. Army Military District of Washington announced on Friday.

Manning, 24, faces 22 charges of participating in the largest leak of classified information in American history, including aiding the enemy, wrongfully causing intelligence to be published on the Internet and theft of public property.

Aiding the enemy is an offense that could bring the death penalty, but the prosecution has said it intends to seek a maximum of life in prison for Manning.

He could also face a reduction to the lowest enlisted pay grade, total forfeiture of all pay and allowances and a dishonorable discharge.

But at least he got to spend his remaining days with his family rather than his last year and half in solitary confinement...

Inattention to detail by reporters leads the public to further question media.
