FORT MEADE, Md. — An Army private accused of leaking classified information is back in a military courtroom.

A pretrial hearing continues Tuesday for Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is accused of sending hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables and war logs to the website WikiLeaks. That charge carries a possible life sentence.

The pretrial hearing takes place at Fort Meade.

A military judge last month said Manning was largely barred from presenting evidence at his trial that the information he's accused of leaking did minimal harm to the U.S. government and foreign relations.
