“He’s not a field commander.”

He was, for a long time.

As a junior officer, he served in various leadership positions aboard USS Collett (DD-730), USS Blandy (DD-943), USS Fox (CG-33) and USS Sterrett (CG-31). He has commanded three ships: the gasoline tanker USS Noxubee (AOG-56), the guided missile destroyer USS Goldsborough (DDG-20), and the guided missile cruiser USS Yorktown (CG-48); and has also commanded Cruiser-Destroyer Group Two and the George Washington Battle Group. Mullen’s last command at sea was as Commander, U.S. Second Fleet/Commander, NATO Striking Fleet Atlantic (COMSTRIKFLTLANT).

This is January.13, 2007. Frankly, Mullen’s is out of touch with reality. This is a wrongheaded decision of immense proportion with serious long term ramifications.

Shutting down Gitmo could allow legal rights of habeas corpus granted to the terrorists being held. Something we don't want to see happen.
