Prosecutors are asking a military judge to sentence U.S. soldier Bradley Manning to 60 years in prison for the biggest leak of classified documents in the country's history.
The recommendation came during closing arguments in the sentencing phase of the trial.
The 25 year old was convicted of handing thousands of classified files to WikiLeaks.

A debate continues on whether the leak caused actual harm to US national security or if it was just a matter of embarrassment to the Government.
The judge says she will begin deliberating the punishment tomorrow.
