Manning faces arraignment in WikiLeaks case
Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private accused of spilling thousands of U.S. secrets to WikiLeaks, is being asked for the first time to enter a plea to the charges.                

Manning's arraignment begins Thursday afternoon.              

The 24-year-old faces 22 counts, including aiding the enemy. That charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.               

Manning has been locked up since May 2010. He is accused of giving the anti-secrecy WikiLeaks website more than 700,000 classified documents and video clips while working in Iraq.                

Defense lawyers say Manning was a troubled soldier who shouldn't have had access to classified material.
