WASHINGTON (AP)
A Pentagon official says the Army private suspected of giving classified data to WikiLeaks is being moved to a state-of-the-art facility at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.
But the Pentagon's general counsel says this does not suggest that the soldier's treatment at the Marine Corps base at Quantico, Va., was inappropriate.
Jeh Johnson said Tuesday that Army Pfc. Bradley Manning will be moved in the very near future to the medium security facility at Leavenworth.
He says Manning can be moved now because his interview in the Washington region to determine his competency to stand trial has been completed.
