FORT MEADE, Md. — Lawyers for Bradley Manning are attacking the decisions of his commanders to send the Army intelligence analyst to Iraq and to let him keep his top-secret security clearance -- despite his emotional outbursts and their concerns about his mental health.
Manning faces up to 90 years in prison for disclosing reams of classified information through the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. His lawyers are presenting evidence in the penalty phase of his court-martial in Maryland, hoping to get him a lighter sentence.
