Description

(RESENDING TO CORRECT THUMBNAIL IMAGE)
Bradley Manning - the U.S. Army intelligence analyst accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified government documents to WikiLeaks - leaves a military court.
The Private First Class faces a host of charges in a hearing at Fort Mead, Maryland. The most serious - aiding the enemy - could send Manning to prison for life.
The material publicized by WikiLeaks includes diplomatic cables from U.S. officials, a video of a 2009 helicopter attack in Iraq that killed a dozen people including two Reuters journalists, and nearly half a million classified files about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan...The prosecution says that jeopardized national security.
Protesting outside the gate to the base, Manning supporters, some who are part of the Occupy movement, say Manning is not a criminal but a hero.
SOUNDBITE (English) MAX OBUSZEWSKI, BRADLEY SUPPORTER FROM "PLEDGE OF RESISTANCE", SAYING:
"He should be given the Medal of Honor. He should be released, and we should continue to try to bring about a transformation of our government where secrecy is not overused."
Manning's lawyer has announced a motion for the investigating officer to recuse himself from the case because of his work at the Justice Department...where an investigation into WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange continues.
Aiding the enemy is a capital crime that carries the death penalty, but the Army has indicated it does not plan to seek that punishment.
