Court rejects dismissal of WikiLeaks charges

&quot AP) FORT MEADE, Md. - A U.S. military judge is refusing to dismiss eight of the 22 counts against an Army private charged in a massive leak of government secrets.

Col. Denise Lind made the ruling Friday during a pretrial hearing for Pfc. Bradley Manning.

The judge also says Manning's trial, currently set for September, will likely start in November or January due to procedural issues. "
