Chelsea Manning, the transgender Army private convicted of leaking national security secrets, faces a hearing Tuesday for prison infractions that could result in solitary confinement.
Manning, who was intelligence analyst Bradley Manning when arrested in 2010, is charged with disrespect of a prison officer and is accused having books and magazines including Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan, among other offenses.
Noteable from the article, it is apparently "disrespect of an officer" to request a lawyer.

I need to add one thing to my previous post. I mentioned that I had no real animus toward the enemy combatants. I failed to say that I have respect for the camera crew. Those boys went into combat situations, unarmed. Or, rather, armed only with a camera, pens, and pencils. Both the reporter and the cameraman were apparently quite dedicated to their profession. They deserve respect, and it is sad that like others before them, they paid th e ultimate price for taking the risk.
Rest in peace, Namir Noor-Eldeen and Saeed Chmagh. Salutes.
