FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) - A
defense attorney for an Army private charged in the biggest leak of
classified information in U.S. history is renewing a request to have 2
of the 22 charges against his client dropped.
David Coombs, an attorney
for Pfc. Bradley Manning, made his argument before a military judge
Monday, the first day of a planned 5-day hearing at Maryland's Fort
George G. Meade. Lawyers for Manning and the government are discussing a
number of issues in advance of Manning's trial, currently scheduled for
September.
Prosecutors say the now
24-year-old gave hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic cables
and war logs to the secret-sharing website WikiLeaks. Manning's attorney
argued Monday that 2 of the charges against his client, which involve
State Department documents, are improper. The judge has yet to rule.
