Hackworth To Release Names Of 17 Senators on Internet Today

[Bubbette]

Just heard on KVIl in Dallas, Col. Hackworth being interviewed. Stated he will be releasing the names of the notorious 17 today on the internet. FYI

[Sacajaweau]

Perfect!!! Now let's find out how she knew about the "Classified" Taguba Report which was sitting on Little Georgie Stephanapolis' desk Sunday when he asked Myers about the report.

I'm not too excited or impressed. Back in January everybody knew since Centcom announced the situation and investigation, then, too.

If the letter had been sent in March or April after months of wearying efforts to clear the nephew and had come to naught and were more recent, I'd think it meant more.

It certainly does not explain why Hackworth felt he needed to go to the media now based on letters sent way back in January at the beginning of the investigation.

[antivenom]

crusty sores in moist places???

[mombonn]

If the names are predominently Dems then they will claim it is a partisan attack!

Gee, that would be a novel approach for them to use.

[Nataku X]

Oh, boy, the names seem to be Democrats so far. Looks like Hackworth might've been telling the truth for a change. Watch how fast the media hushes this up.

[cake_crumb]

AHHH, I missed it!

[I got the rope]

Does anyone have a complete list yet?

[EllaMinnow]

Nelson of Florida KNEW!?!

This will wipe him off the Kerry VP list!

[babaloo]

We can write these scripts can't we?

[woofie]

now that is more graphic than the photos

[null and void]

Keep your rope on standby...

The outcome after the illegal leak will be courts martial for the actual abusers, a wrist slap for the idiot running the prison, and a possibility we might lose the most important war since WWII.

Well hopefully the idiot running the prison could face early retirement or some other punishment because of this. And I truly hope you're not basing the entire success of the WOST in Iraq solely on whether or not these pictures are released to the public. If so, it was on pretty weak ground to begin with

[Badeye]

Every Senator and Congressional Rep knew about this last January.

Thats what was so very bizzare about last weeks Rumsfeld inquisition. This wasn't "new news".

[boxerblues]

The beast knew, and had the nerve to play stupid on Friday

[Sacajaweau]

Absolutely correct. This is a Military Matter. There are Military points. There were "admissions of guilt" right in the report. It was NOT a speculative report but a "Condemnation" Report.

[Sacajaweau]

She isn't playing stupid. It's REAL!!

[boxerblues]

lol okay poor choice of words there. The beast is stupid.

[Polybius]

My list did not come from Hackworth; it came from the boy's uncle who is representing him as an attorney.

That kid would have saved himsef a lot of grief if his blackmailing uncle had only stayed out of this.

This is exactly why doctors don't treat their own family members: The emotions involved can cloud your judgement.

So, the blackmail threat did not work. The U.S. Army refused to drop the charges against his nephew based on the "I was just following orders" Nuremberg excuse and, instead, insisted on the rule of law by completing the UCMJ Article 15 investigation and proceding with plans for court martial. The uncle then followed up on his blackmail threat.

Now what?

Instead of a court-martial without any command influence or political influenza, the uncle has ensured that his nephew in this matter will be tried in an extremely prejudicial atmosphere with every publicity seeking Congressman, Senator, newspaper editor, foreign leader, anti-American political group, the entire Middle East and even honorable U.S. servicemembers whose reputation has been sullied demanding that the abusers be crucified.

I followed a FR link Saturday morning to the Taguba Report, so by Sunday, everyone had it. Yet, Hillary stated in her question to Sec. Rumsfeld that the report was well known. From the Secretary's reaction, I'm hoping will be her undoing.

[Sacajaweau]

There is much in that report on Kapinski. I believe she's the weak link.
