You are supposed to be allowed to bring to light things that are government abuses, fraud, other things like that... otherwise how are we going to know about the truth?\"\u003cbr/\u003e20. SOUNDBITE (English) Captain Lawrence Rockwood, former US Army special security officer, trained at Ft Meade, from 1977-2000:\u003cbr/\u003e\"The treatment of this soldier is ridiculous from a national security point of view. Those who have harmed our national security are those who engaged in torture and been granted impunity.\"\u003cbr/\u003e21. Mid of Rockwood holding sign\u003cbr/\u003eThe civilian attorney for Army Private First Class Bradley Manning, the US soldier accused of leaking classified documents published by the WikiLeaks website, asked the presiding officer at his pre-trial hearing on Friday to step aside.\u003cbr/\u003eArmy Lt. Col. Paul Almanza's civilian occupation as a Justice Department prosecutor was the chief reason defence lawyer David Coombs gave in asking him to recuse himself. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation targeting WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.\u003cbr/\u003eManning, 23, is charged with aiding the enemy by leaking hundreds of thousands of secret documents that ended up on the website.\u003cbr/\u003eAt the time, he was a low-level intelligence analyst in Baghdad.\u003cbr/\u003eThe case has spawned an international movement in support of Manning, who is seen by anti-war activists as a hero who helped expose American mistakes in Iraq and Afghanistan. \u003cbr/\u003eTo others he is a villain, even a traitor, who betrayed his oath of loyalty by deliberately spilling his government's secrets.\u003cbr/\u003eDressed in his camouflage army fatigues, Manning sat at the defence table showing little expression. He occasionally twirled a pen between his thumb and finger.\u003cbr/\u003eThe hearing is open to the public, but with limited seating.\u003cbr/\u003eA small number of reporters were present but not allowed to record or photograph the proceedings.\u003cbr/\u003eFriday's hearing is to determine whether Manning will face a court-martial.\u003cbr/\u003eIf his case goes to trial and he is convicted, Manning could face life in prison. \u003cbr/\u003eThe government has said it would not seek the death penalty.\u003cbr/\u003eAlmanza said he hasn't formed an opinion about Manning's guilt or innocence and he did not make a formal decision before taking a noon recess.\u003cbr/\u003eA member of the prosecution team, Captain Ashden Fein, said the government opposes recusal.\u003cbr/\u003eCoombs also argued that Almanza had wrongly denied a defence request to call as witnesses the \"original classification authorities\" who first decided to classify as secret the material WikiLeaks published.\u003cbr/\u003eThe site of the hearing, Fort Meade, is home to US Cyber Command, the organisation whose mission includes protecting computer networks like the one Manning allegedly breached by illegally downloading huge numbers of classified documents in Iraq.\u003cbr/\u003eManning's lawyer asserts that the documents' release did little actual harm.\u003cbr/\u003eManning's supporters planned to maintain a vigil during the hearing and were organising a rally for Saturday. \u003cbr/\u003eBy midday, about 50 protesters had assembled outside the main entrance, and a few dozen protesters marched down a road along the base carrying neon orange signs that read, \"The Bradley Manning Support Network.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe Manning case has led to a debate over the broader issue of whether the government's system for classifying and shielding information has grown so unwieldy that it is increasingly vulnerable to intrusions.\u003cbr/\u003eAbsent from the Meade proceedings will be Julian Assange, who runs WikiLeaks from England. \u003cbr/\u003eHe is fighting in British courts to block a Swedish request that he be extradited to face trial over rape allegations.\u003cbr/\u003eA US grand jury is weighing whether to indict Assange on espionage charges, and WikiLeaks is straining under an American financial embargo.\u003cbr/\u003eThe materials Manning is accused of leaking include hundreds of thousands of sensitive items: Iraq and Afghanistan war logs, State Department cables and a classified military video of a 2007 American helicopter attack in Iraq that killed 11 men, including a Reuters news photographer and his driver.\u003cbr/\u003eManning, who turns 24 on Saturday, was detained in Iraq in May 2010 and moved to a Marine Corps brig at Quantico, Virginia, in July. \u003cbr/\u003eNine months later, the army sent him to the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, after a series of claims by Manning of unlawful pretrial punishment.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen it filed formal charges against Manning in March 2011, the army accused him of using unauthorised software on government computers to extract classified information, illegally download it and transmit the data for public release by what the army termed \"the enemy.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe first large publication of the documents by WikiLeaks in July 2010, some 77-thousand military records on the war in Afghanistan, made global headlines. \u003cbr/\u003eBut the material provided only limited revelations, including unreported incidents of Afghan civilian killings as well as covert operations against Taliban figures.\u003cbr/\u003eIt took months for the Army to reach the conclusion that Manning was competent to stand trial. \u003cbr/\u003eIn the meantime Manning's civilian lawyer, Coombs, has sought to build a case that appears to rest in part on an assertion that the government's own reviews of the leaks concluded that little damage was done.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
