So how much time did he have?

I haven't seen anything that proves he didn't have time, in fact the interrogation had been going on for at least several hours before he showed up. Did he have a day? Did he have a week? What friggin commander worth his weight can't think to employ mitigating countermeasures to the threat he faced?

I don't buy the "he didn't have time" line. It seems to me it wasn't imminent, if it was going to happen at all. After all the initial information may well have been a lie to bring trouble to the policeman.

Is casting doubt on the character of others all you can do? You're starting to sound like a very annoying 8 track. Just admit you have no valid argument for the punishment of West except your desire to see a military guy punished.
