Army Col. Denise Lind says she will begin deliberating the prison sentence for whistleblower Bradley Manning today. Manning faces up to 90 years in prison for leaking troves of secret documents to WikiLeaks. Government prosecutors said Manning should be sentenced to 60 years, saying he “deserves to spend the majority of his remaining life” in prison. Manning’s defense lawyer said his sentence should not surpass 25 years, the period of time after which many of the leaked documents would have been declassified automatically.
