Chelsea Manning Sues Defense Department

Army Pvt. Chelsea Manning is suing the Defense Department to provide increased therapy for her gender identity disorder. Manning, formerly Bradley Manning, is serving a 35-year military prison sentence for leaking millions of classified military documents in 2010. Her lawyer says DoD is failing to provide her with necessary hormone and other treatments. The lawyer says Manning is at risk of self-castration and suicide. He calls the lack of treatment cruel and unusual punishment. Manning switched her gender identity shortly before her conviction in 2013. She's serving her sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. There she receives psychotherapy, but her lawyer says that's not enough.
