Nor will there be.

#3 OK, that sent my blood pressure into quadruple digits.

The best thing these young men could do would be to convert to Islam for the duration. Then they could bitch about desecration of their Q'urans, etc. Human Rights Watch would be on the case in a New York second.

#4 there were 150 protesters outside Pendleton's South gate last saturday, and they're doing the same this Saturday. Roger Hedgecock on KOGO600 AM (streams at 3PM PST) has taken up the cause locally. These men should NOT be treated to solitary and shackles before charges are applied. Gitmo Arabs get better treatment. Raise the pressure. Call your Representatives

#5 Michael Savage is fired up on this like flies on sh*t. He has been having people on like one of the wives and a defense attorney for one of the Marines.

#6 Unfortunately, one of the core charges against these servicemen is that they willfully plagiarized or falsified military combat reports to cover-up an alleged act(s) of alleged cruelty/atrocity to alleged Iraqi civilians. Their Mil-Civie atty(s) must present convincing physical evidence of innocence or potential "non-felony guilt/accessory" iff they are to receive better treatment, i.e. remain in jail until court(s) martial but with no shackles. THe Mil Courts will follow the UCMJ and Fed-Mil caselaw, NOT the MSM - the sooner the lawyers present the evidences of no-guilt or non-felony guilt, the faster the shackles can come off.

#7 They would be treated better if they were illegal combatants sawing off the heads of civilians and babies.

Innocence until proven guilty only applies to terrorists according to the ACLU and MSM.

#8 One of the Marine's father - Terry Pennington was on H/C tonight. Pretty much bitch slapped alan colmes around. The only time you put someone in solitare is after they've been charged for a real serious felony, have multiple UA's, drug conviction, or are a no-shit flight risk. I doubt these guys fall into any of that category though I've not seen the evidence either way. This is prolly more Iraqi stories. That's their new way of hamstringing our forces - claim war crimes and watch the msm & now the politicos in uniform along w/that fat disgusting pos jackie murtha dance like finger puppets. I trust the Corps though above all else and the right thing will prolly be done soon along w/a formal apology if something was dicked up.

#9 Happened to be listening to Sean this afternoon (in the car at that time) and this father he had on his show tonight, just called in to Sean. Producer was smart enough to take the call.

Point being, Sean has Cheney on his radio show tomorrow, and promised this father, he would bring this up to our VP -- why are these kids being treated like this?

And Cheney just might make a difference with this. Here's hopin'.
