Army Pfc. Bradley Manning is escorted to a security vehicle outside a courthouse in Fort Meade, Md., Thursday, July 18, 2013, after a court martial hearing. Col. Denise Lind, the military judge overseeing Manning’s trial, refused a defense request to dismiss a charge that Manning aided the enemy by giving reams of classified information to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. It is the most serious charge he faces, punishable by up to life in prison without parole if found guilty. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)
