Alot can happen to a man in five years since the Captain last saw him. And when it involves men and combat, such change is a certainty.
I briefly spoke to Bob Bales when he telecomed with his wife a week or so before the incident. He was hunkering down due to the riots over the Koran burnings, you know, the ones where whole Afghani towns were ablaze and they were killing people over murders. He was doing fine then.
Someone went to 2 separate villages 5 miles apart in a one hour time span and killed all those people. The villagers themselves said it was a group of men; more than one. Now the DoD will not let Bales’s legal team go to Afghanistan to interview those same villagers. There are a whole host of strange and disparate reports that have come out, and I can tell you most of them were made up by the media. Bob himself does not remember what happened at all.
Yet the Pentagon lawyers want us all to believe this one guy did all that within an hour, and that he was $hit-faced drunk when he did it? And yet we cannot get a single Afghani to testify or at least speak to the defense?
