WASHINGTON — Following an intensive seven-month investigation, the Army on Wednesday filed 22 additional charges against Pfc. Bradley Manning, accused of illegally downloading tens of thousands of classified U.S. military and State Department documents that were then publicly released by WikiLeaks, military officials tell NBC News.

Coombs, Manning's lawyer, has complained that his confinement conditions — in maximum custody under a “prevention of injury” watch — are unduly harsh and undermine his right to a fair trial. Manning has been confined in a 6-by-12-foot cell with a bed, a drinking fountain and a toilet for about 23 hours a day, Coombs has said.

I'm curious why Manning's CO is not Court-martialed
for allowing someone with an article 15 access to a
TS secured area with recording devices ?

[Lancey Howard]

Put him down like an old sick animal.

Tough crap, it’s a hell of a lot bigger than the coffin his actions caused.

Wow. Sucks to be him.

[Leofl]

Naaaa give him a weapon, let him take some of his “friends” aka goat lovers, with him!!!

They would just “love” him!!!

[nascarnation]

I’m all for hanging this guy when he’s found guilty.

HOWEVER, I also want an intensive investigation of his chain of command and how a little sh!t like this got such a wide span of access.

[usmcobra]

Well if he was going to be executed the least he could have done was to post Obama’s Original Birth certificate online while he was at it....

Possible death penalty? He should have stood in an open room with a hundred witnesses, shot and killed 13, wounded 29, while shouting Allah Akbar. This would have made his civil rights so sensitive, his trial wouldn’t start for 3 years. Oh, that’s right, he already has sensitive civil rights, straight soldiers need not re-enlist.
