FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) - A military judge has refused
to dismiss all charges against an Army private accused of sending
hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the anti-secrecy
website WikiLeaks.
Lawyers for Pfc. Bradley Manning argued the charges
should be dismissed because he was denied a speedy trial. He has been
detained for two years and nine months. Defense attorney David Coombs
says that prosecutors have dragged their feet and that a commander
rubber-stamped their requests for delay after delay.
Prosecutors say the delays were reasonable, given
the complexity of the case and the volume of classified material
involved. The judge agreed Tuesday and denied the defense motion.
Manning faces 22 charges, including aiding the
enemy, which carries a maximum life sentence. His trial is scheduled to
start in June.
