Kucinich wants to visit Wikileaks suspect


WASHINGTON (AP) — Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich has asked the Defense secretary for a visit with an Army private suspected of giving classified material to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks.

Kucinich, a Democrat who is a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a letter Friday to Defense Secretary Robert Gates asking for a visit with Pfc. Bradley Manning.

Manning is being held in a Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Va.

Kucinich said he is concerned about reports of Manning's treatment while in custody. Manning's lawyer has filed a formal complaint with the Quantico commander about the strict conditions under which Manning is being held.
