An Army private deferred his plea Thursday to charges he made the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history.
Pfc. Bradley Manning also deferred a choice of whether to be tried by a military jury or judge alone. He was arraigned before Col. Denise Lind at Fort Meade near Baltimore. A trial date has not been set.
Manning faces 22 counts, including aiding the enemy. That charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. The others carry a combined maximum of 150 years. He allegedly gave the anti-secrecy website more than 700,000 documents and video clips.
