Pfc. Bradley Manning, a US soldier accused of leaking classified information to WikiLeaks, is to be arraigned today at Fort Meade, Maryland. Manning will be given “official notice of the charges,” according to his defense lawyer, David Coombs. He will then be asked to enter a plea.
On Coombs’ Army Court Martial Defense blog, Coombs writes, “This is the first step in the court-martial process.” It is scheduled to begin at 1 pm EST this afternoon.
