Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Manning Accused of Aiding Al-Qaeda

HeadlineMar 16, 2012

U.S. Army Private Bradley Manning is scheduled to appear in military court in Fort Meade, Maryland, today for a second day of hearings. On Thursday, the military accused Manning of indirectly aiding al-Qaeda by leaking a trove of secret documents to the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks. Meanwhile, a defense lawyer asked that all charges against Manning be dropped, saying the government had failed to turn over requested documents and information. Manning faces 22 counts, including aiding the enemy, which could result in life imprisonment.
