Judge Refuses to Dismiss Charge Against Manning (Apr 26, 2012)
FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) - A military judge has refused to dismiss
the most serious charge against an Army private accused in the
biggest leak of government secrets in U.S. history.
Col. Denise Lind ruled Thursday against a defense motion to
dismiss the charge of "aiding the enemy." The charge carries a
maximum penalty of life in prison.
Lind was presiding over a pretrial hearing at Fort Meade.
The defense had argued that that charge didn't properly allege
that Pfc. Bradley Manning intended to help al-Qaida when he
allegedly sent classified information to the anti-secrecy website
WikiLeaks.
Prosecutors maintained that Manning knew al-Qaida members would
view the WikiLeaks website, regardless of his intentions.
Manning also faces 21 other counts.
