PFC Manning's Atty. Files Motion to Dismiss, Describes "Brutal" Treatment
On July 27 defense counsel representing Army PFC Bradley Manning filed a motion to dismiss "owing to the unlawful pretrial punishment to which PFC Manning was subjected while at Marine Corps Base, Quantico [Virginia]." Another motion was filed requesting a continuance of the proceedings owing to the slow production by the government of reams of documents that are "obviously material to the preparation of the defense."
David Coombs is Manning's civilian lawyer and in a recent blog post he declared that the contents of the Article 13 motion (the motion to dismiss) would "shock the conscience of the court." Coombs' confidence was well founded as the tale related by him in the motion is disturbing and shines an unfavorable light on high-ranking American military officials.
