They couldn't get the lead right. Sergeant Heather Cerveny is not a lawyer; she's a paralegal. OTOH, it definitely looks like the Marines are definitely begining to get at least a little of it right.

These two pixies are not just a couple, light-in-the-loafers civilian legal twits. They are Marines first, "lawyers" second. They need to STFU and stop playing politics with GITMO.

BRIAN ROSS (ABC NEWS)

(Voiceover) Twenty-three-year-old Marine Sergeant Heather Cerveny was sent to Guantanamo Bay in late September as a legal aid to a marine lawyer representing a detainee. She has come back, now, with a story of what she says is unchecked abuse by guards there.

SERGEANT HEATHER CERVENY (UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS)

None of them looked like they cared. None of them looked shocked by it.

BRIAN ROSS (ABC NEWS)

(Voiceover) In a sworn affidavit filed with the Pentagon inspector general, Cerveny says, she met several navy prison guards at an on base club, where over drinks, they described, in detail, harsh, physical abuse of the detainees.

The one sailor specifically said, ‘I took the detainee by the head and smashed his head into the cell door.” Other ones specifically saying, ‘you know, today, that guy was annoying me. You know? I smacked him in the head.”

BRIAN ROSS (ABC NEWS)

(Voiceover) The sergeant says the guards told her they worked at camps five and six. And that such beatings of detainees were common and justified.

I initially asked him, what consequences - you know, what happened for you doing this to him? And he said nothing.

When you want to get the straight scoop, there's nothing like a bunch of drunken sailors and Marines sitting around the club talking to a woman. I find it strange that they didn't bring up all of their MOHs and Purple Hearts. Or maybe they did. LOL!

Military discipline aside, paralegals who publicize aspects pertinent to a case in which their attorney is presently acting are unlikely to be paralegals very long.

...it permits the abuse of detainees to continue,...

Yeah, they're really mistreated.

Tell me, how many prisioners have been mutilated or beheaded at Gitmo?

They had reported this case for investigation. There was NO reason to take it to the press, other than to make the USA and the USMC look bad.

If I were their commander, Heather and her boss would be in the hospital suffering from having two new assholes chewed in them...and awaiting an insanity check for believing a bunch of drunk marines talking to a girl.

Must have stopped taking Murtha's calls.
