#1 Pisses me off.

Pretty fucking bad when illegal combatants who have a habit of sawing off heads and blowing up innocent civilians in cold blood get kid-glove treatment while our own men - who are fighting the above and risking their lives so traitors like the NYT, LAT, Murtha and Kerry can slander them are treated as common criminals before even being charged.

What the hell is the brass thinking? Who's side are they on anyway? Apparently not ours! Do they *want* to lose the WOT? That is what they are working toward. Sounds like someone needs to clean house. And a few people (and a couple of Senators) need to be brought up on charges treason or aiding-and-abedding the enemy.

#2 Wait a frikkin' minute....OK I'm spouting off without reading the entire article but what's described above IS NOT THE HADITHA CASE.... this whole crap bag is so out of hand that even the basic facts aren't being accounted for - and as such...those poor Marines are screwed.

#3 The Gitmo detainees are not going to be tried before a court of law. They were captured on an active battlefield and are being held as illegal combatants. Information solicited from them is not for prosecution of crimes. It is being employed to identify the terrorist network, means of operation, and potential future actions.

Those policed up in a criminal investigation have to be handled differently if the authorities intend to criminally prosecute. Miranda warnings and, once given and invoked, the presence of his/her attorney must be followed. If the information posted is valid, it appears theyve already jeopardized their case.

The Military Court of Appeals has no sense of humor. The command chain may indeed be able to railroad someone for a while, but in the end, the MCA will hammer back. Thats when separate investigations begin focused on those involved in corrupting the process.
