Three years ago, Bradley Manning made headlines when he was arrested for releasing over 700,000 classified military documents to Wikileaks. He was charged with 22 offenses, including aiding and abetting the enemy. He has since confessed to many of the charges. Supporters laud him a hero while critics say he injured national security. Manning’s military court martial begins Monday — and he faces life in prison without parole.
