I bet they wish they were at GITMO

Dear Dr. Savage:



My Secretary handed me a document this evening which stunned me. It was a document from the investigation which had been scanned and e-mailed to my office by a member of the media. I donâ??t know who leaked the document- - whether it was an "unnamed Pentagon official," NCIS, or a politician with an agenda- - but I do know that it is an outrage that the only piece of documentary evidence Iâ??ve seen so far in this case came from a member of the media and not from the Marine Corps. As my client sits shackled in solitary confinement in the Marine Corps Brig with charges yet to be filed, the Marine Corps has stooped to leaking portions of the investigation in order to advance their case in the media.



This maneuver calculated solely for the benefit of an agenda constitutes a miscarriage of justice to the prejudice of my client and all involved. The intentional circulation of this document should shock the conscience of all Americans concerned with the fair treatment of our men and women in uniform. I am outraged that government officials would trample on the constitutional rights of a decorated military member in an effort to meet an agenda. This type of malicious action jeopardizes any chance my client and these Marines might have had for a fair trial. An independent congressional inquiry should commence to investigate this impermissible conduct.



In a similar vein, I am troubled by the "unlawful command influence" at the highest levels. When the commander-in-chief and other high level military officials are passing on the guilt of these men and making statements regarding punishment based on pure conjecture, what message is that sending to their military subordinates who will be charged with rendering a fair judgment in this case? Any potential military juror has already seen and heard their superiors at the highest levels intimate their personal verdicts. That kind of influence is patently unjust and, Iâ??m afraid, will operate to taint the judgment of what is supposed to be an impartial fact-finder. My clientâ??s opportunity for justice has been irreparably compromised even before the first charge has been filed.



It is a sad day in military justice when honor on the battlefield takes a back seat to political agendas.



Thanks again for your support. You are a true American.

Democrats Visit Gitmo, Find No Abuse

Don't expect this to get much media attention.

The Hill - Five senators and 16 House members returned yesterday from separate weekend visits to the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where more than 500 suspected Islamic terrorists are being held, agreeing that no prisoners are being mistreated but still divided on whether it should be closed.
"It was really an eye-opening experience," Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) told The Hill. "We found a well-run and well-organized camp. Everything we heard previously was negative, but what we saw was much different from what we had heard and read about."
Nelson, a member of the Armed Services Committee who toured the camp on Sunday with Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), said he concluded that, "while there may have been some inappropriate [interrogation] efforts in the past, they are not ongoing, and closing the prison is not one of the things we should pursue."

Two House Democrats who were among 16 members of the House Armed Services Committee who toured the prison in sweltering heat on Saturday, Reps. Ellen Tauscher (D-Calif.) and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), agreed that prisoners are no being mistreated, but said charges of abuse at the prison still harms America's image at home and abroad.

Although Tauscher told the Associated Press that Guantanamo "has become a lightning rod" for anti-American feeling, she said, "The Guantanamo we saw today is not the Guantanamo we heard about a few years ago."

And while Jackson Lee said she still believes the $110 million facility, which costs $95 million a year to operate, should be closed, she added, "What we've seen here is evidence that we've made progress."

However, Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), said charges that U.S. interrogators abused and tortured prisoners were nothing more than "wild accusations" designed to hurt the United States. He also questioned whether the criteria for releasing a detainee is too liberal, saying that some who have been released have returned to fight in Iraq.

And Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.), who toured the prison Sunday with Sens. Mike Crapo (R-Wyo.) and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), but separately from Nelson and Wyden, said in a floor speech yesterday that prisoners were being well-treated.

"Throughout the entire detention camp, terrorists were given clothes and bedding. They are given Muslim prayer rugs and Korans. There are arrows everywhere pointing them to Mecca. We even witnessed a prayer call announcing to the terrorists that it was time for them to turn to Mecca and pray."

prayer matts or shackles? what would you choose?

Military Justice, another oxymoron

WOW I must have struck a cord with this one.

silince is deafining............


I have just proven that it is better to be a islamofacist in gitmo, then a marine in the brigg.

what is going on in this world?

So they have to pray to Mecca? Serious question..they have to be pointed a certain way to pray? All the Government has to do is let them do some real time in one of Alabamas finest and I am sure they will never ever want to have anything to do with America again.

yea, show me a credible link..and ill believe this. All I see is a Homestead link..which is probably ran by a 15 year old kid thats mad Bush is still in the whitehouse.
