#1 Something doesn't smell right here. All he needed to do was refuse to accept being disciplined under Article 15 - he could reject the Article 15 and demand a courts martial. So - the fact that he underwent Articke 15 punishment meant that he accepted this route - effectively the equivalent of a plea bargain.

#3 Minor disciplinary issue or not, he can kiss whatever career he thought he had goodbye.

#4 It's that other career he apparently thought he really had that worries me.

'Course, he'll never get in a position again to pursue that "career" effectively. And I expect he'll be watched, too.

Good.

#5 I think the guy was guilty as hell, but the GOV.. didn't want to have to release certain intel info they defense was sure to ask for. Don't you think the Dept. of Justice has enough on it's hands for now?

#6 Gotta disagree here. If the guy is guilty of something, the government should say so and make its case. If not, they should shut up and use non-judicial means to neutralize the guy if they have sufficient suspicions. Trans fer him to Thule or wherever. But smearing people is a bad habit to get into and will dilute domestic resolve for the real WoT.
