UNITED STATES -- Saturday was the second-day of pre-trial hearings for the former Fort Drum soldier accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the website WikiLeaks.

Bradley Manning spent his 24th birthday in military court listening to investigators explain how they pieced together their case against him.

Included in their evidence were chat logs, in which Manning appears to disclose his activities to a former hacker.

Prosecutors are seeking a general court martial on 22 criminal charges, but first have to prove that they have enough evidence against him to go to trial.

If convicted of all counts, Manning would face a maximum punishment of life in prison.
