I wonder exactly what the evidence is against these men.

This charge seems very odd to me.

Guilty until proven innocent?

The Marine Corps is taking a lot of heat on this from several sources. The logic, and I'm a former Marine, is quintessential Marine Corps. They throw these Marines in the brig and keep them shackled yet they give the Gitmo terrorist detainees white glove treatment. Yeah ... typical chicken shit Marine Corps logic.

I think Camp Pendleton got a call from the White House.

Michael Savage has been ranting about this case for weeks. He is selling his car to help raise money for the defendants. Somebody must have been listening.

If Marines weren't so busy trying to stay alive, morale would be in the sh*tter over this.

Savage has been on this for weeks. Vanity has been on it for a couple of days, but took credit for single handedly getting these guys off shackles on yesterdays radio show!!!

Never talk to Criminal Investigators in the military without a lawyer. Ask for your lawyer early.

The other tricks to get you to confess are to say "A good Marine would tell us what happened.", "What is your commander and first sergeant going to say when we tell them your not cooperating." and there are other things they try to get you to talk.

Maj. Jeff Nyhart at Pendleton said the change had nothing to do with the complaints from attorneys and family members.

Hannity has also been hitting this hard

Hannity hit the VP on this live. The VP affirmed they should be presumed innocent.
Shortly thereafter the Marines were unshackled.

Family members of the Marines called Hannity to thank him.

There is no bail under the military legal system. Suspects can be restricted to base or placed in the brig depending on the seriousness of the charges they are facing and the decision of the local commanders.

Ditto and hurray for everyone posting on this. Michele Malkin has been blogging on this topic. She is my current favorite after Free Republic.
