WikiLeaks: Bradley Manning faces 22 new charges
Found on CBS News on Wednesday, 02 March 2011
CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports that the new charges for the first time formally accuse Manning of aiding the enemy.
The charge of aiding the enemy under the Uniform Code of Military Justice is a capital offense, but the Army's prosecution team has notified the Manning defense team that it will not recommend the death penalty to the two-star general who is in charge of proceeding with legal action.
Who exactly is the enemy? The rest of the world, outside of the military network? Despite constant claims from angry politicians, nothing bad has happened which is directly related to the leaked documents.
