Manning Faces 22 Additional Charges in WikiLeaks Case 
------------------------------------------------------



Alleged military whistleblower, Army Private Bradley Manning, has been
charged with 22 additional counts in connection with the leaking of U.S.
military and government documents to the group Wiki Leaks. On Wednesday,
the military said Manning has been charged with new offenses including
"aiding the enemy." The charges carry the potential sentence of the
death penalty, but military officials say they will not seek an
execution. Manning remains imprisoned at the Quantico military base in
Virginia under conditions that supporters have denounced as torture.
