Bump! Good evening, and thanks for the ping.

bad news. Freeper Flightline has been in personal contact with the family of one of the Marines recently held with the 6 others and one sailor for the accusation of murder in Iraq.

The story as it is unfolding is appalling, and it is shameful what I will soon report, but the Marine Corps is sticking it to the men involved and treating them worse than the Gitmo detainees.

I am waiting for a written report with names and dates on it.

These men are being used for political purposes to placate the willing accomplice media in their efforts to discredit the war.

A short bit: Men were held for over 3 weeks in confinement with no contact with their families allowed, and no notice was given by the Red Cross to their families; with strong interrogation by NIS to include food and sleep deprivation and deprivation of toilet facilities. And these were Marines accused of crimes, not terrorists who were caught in combat with the ACLU fighting for their rights.

Good morning, Tonk. How's it going?
