A second military officer has recommended a court-martial for the alleged Army whistleblower Bradley Manning, who is accused of leaking classified documents and video to WikiLeaks. The decision by Colonel Carl Coffman mirrors that of a lower-ranking officer who presided over Manning’s pretrial hearing last month. The recommendation now goes to the commander of the Military District of Washington who will make a final decision on whether Manning should stand trial. Manning faces a sentence of up to life in prison or possibly the death penalty.
