Thanks for the ping, Fred. I’m praying this happens and also that many will send letters.

Good for these Congressmen! Sounds like they understand the case pretty well. Praying that President Bush will find it in his heart to grant this pardon.

I just wanted to show you people that some members of Congress are worthy. But others, like MURTHA, aren’t worth the paper they are printed on.

Do the letters asking pardon for Evan go to the senators or to the president?

Curt has letters from Senator Crapo and Congressman Simpson.
He is in contact with the person who will give them to the President.
This is a link to a recent radio interview Curt did. It is ,IMO, great.

Are we interested only in a pardon or is it ok to ask for a reprieve or a pardon?

I think it would be fine to also ask for a commutation or anything we can get.

I'm trying to find the thread where the Iraqi she-snake made the qoute about "someone is going to get punished today" and also where Lynch refused to let Evan go to Germany for PTSD testing, and what was Lynch's rank at the time.
I need it asap, didn't get to it during the holidays (sorry). Will send you a copy before mailing.
I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays - pretty laid back here, loads of snow (for western Washington).
Happy New Year

4wb, From a
Times article in this FR thread,
Murder or Exhaustion in Iraq? Sgt. Evan Vela Court Martial, the "she-snake" info.
....."Iraq's Minister of Human Rights, Wijdan Mikhail Salim, however, does not see the case as either a justified kill or a horrific accident by an exhaustion-impaired soldier. She was attending today's proceedings, she told TIME, because, "I want to be sure that any American soldier who wrongs an Iraqi will go on trial. [Vela] killed an Iraqi man, an unarmed man. He must be punished.""........
