Bradley Manning will at last head to court
today, for a pre-trial hearing in which prosecutors must prove they have
sufficient evidence to court-martial him. The charges against him
include aiding the enemy, violating the Espionage Act, and a variety of
lesser offenses, the Washington Post
reports.
While aiding the enemy carries a potential death sentence, the
Army says it will not seek it and instead try to send the alleged
Wikileaker—who turns 24 tomorrow—to prison for life.
Manning
hasn't been seen in public since his arrest in May of last year, though
he is unlikely to speak. Prosecutors' key piece of evidence is expected
to be a series of chat logs between Manning and hacker Adrian Lamo, but
those chat logs may actually undercut the central "aiding the enemy"
charge. For that charge, prosecutors must provide "reasonable grounds"
to believe Manning intentionally gave intelligence to an enemy. In the
logs, Manning instead evinces altruistic moments, saying he wants
"people to see the truth. … We're human … and we're killing ourselves."
