Re: NCIS work cleared Pantano.

"And Sandy Berger was just distracted when he put those papers in his pants.

Irrelevant.

"The incompetence or ruthlessness (pick one) of NCIS agents destroyed Pantano's career as a Marine."

Nonsense. Pantano destroyed his own career by his own behavior. Pantano's accuser in the incident was Sgt Coburn, not some "terrorists", or the NCIS. THe NCIS cleared him, as I said. The facts of the matter.

"Pantano's defense team (including Marine JAGs) cleared him.

No.

""Whatever" is a chickencrap response to the loss of an outstanding Marine officer--especially in a time of war."

Whatever.

Pantano destroyed his own career by his own behavior.

Wait, I thought the NCIS cleared him. You still think he's guilty?

Whatever.

Generally, people on Free Republic support the troops. Sorry you're an exception.
