#1 VP Cheney is right, there is and should be a presumption of innocence.

#2 Thing is, I believe I read someplace a while back that they have confessions in this case. I thought I also read that the corpsman was going to be released soon so I am surprised he is still there.

#3 The men would not be in shackles unless military investigators already possesses some type of sworn physical or written evidence against them, i.e. non-perjurious [for now] direct evidence has been levied against them. It is up to the men's counsel(s) to submit either evidence of fraud-on-the-court, absolute non-guilt of any crime or unprofessional/immoral/unlawful/unethical
action, or in the alternate not as guilty as others. THE LEAD DEFENSE COUNSEL(S) MUST PROVE PERJURY OR MISTAKE. Remember also, one of the allegations or charges against them is alleged wilful falsifying of combat or after-action reports to disguise engaging in atrocity(s) against ordinary civilians. Any investigation or court(s)-martial will follow or should follow the USCMJ, MilRegs, International Agreements in regards to US mil forces, and Fed-DOD caselaws and protocols, not the MSM.

#6 The eight men, confined at the brig since May 24, were being held with maximum restraints based on their battalion commanders decision

Upon reflection, I've decided not to comment.
