Bookmark to read more thoroughly later today as I have to run, but my first impression from what I have been able to read thus far is to the effect of pacification of the Carteresque Left, Human Rights Obamaniacal doofus’s that have amazingly become empowered within our otherwise sane Nation.

Looking forward to having the time later today/tomorrow to read on, and looking forward to the sequels.

Trust me, you haven’t read Agt Hutchin’s account yet

In his officla statement, they engaged this man and shot him up.

They went to view the man they shot, he was bleeding and dying.

Hutchins then shot him, the dead check is STANDARD PROCEDURE in Iraq.

But, remember this, NONE of what you read in the media is what is in the official documents, not in any truthful way, nor does the officlal document agree with the media.

The money quote:

"This machine that the media and the Left have created, this "culture of corruption" so prevalent in the JAG Corps and NCIS needs to be exposed--not just because of its harmful effects in the Hamdania and Haditha cases, but because if left unchecked it will result in many more of these cases as the military attempts to fight a war while sacrificing its warriors for political expediency.

Those of us who have been closely following the "Haditha massacre" hoax have also been long aware of JAG's insidious agenda and the rampant corruption of its investigative arm, NCIS. We will never know how many soldiers and Marines have perished because they hesitated ever so slightly to pull the trigger out of confusion over nebulous "rules of engagement" or fear of vindictive prosecution by JAG's selfish, politician-wannabe lawyers. They certainly know by now that nobody up the chain of command has their backs.

Thank you, Commander-in-Chief George W. Bush. Nice job. Way to take charge.

Thanks, for the ping, Chaplain. This and the Haditha and Iskandariyah cases have made me seriously question where the Country I swore my oaths to has gone in the last twenty-five years.

Well, it hit the MSM:

Here's hoping it travels all over, and opens up some eyes to the intolerable conditions and treatment these and other "war"-criminals have been subjected to.

Our best bet, is that after Aby Grahib a lesson had to be made

IMO Abu Ghraib was a total set up...a Psy Op...

If you recall at the timwe Kerry was on the campaign trail bragging about his connections within military inteeligence.

The three closest woman in the case all came from that base in southern Arizona and the highest ranked one, after the storm, ended up working on Kerry campaign staff.

The question came up as to exactly how the guards at Abu Ghraib came to be in the position they found themselves...thisis key. I believe they were placed there deliberately.

It is not a stretch to to assume that the people that were in command of this operation, with their Intel backgrounds were unaware of an experiment conducted by Stanford University in the late 1960's that mirrored the exact situation that was *set up* at Abu Gharib. It had the effect of bewing a bomb with a fuse lit. It was only needed to sit back and wait, based on the results of the study at Stanford.

Sorry, I've forgotten all the names, ranks, and connections I once had but I still have the link that describes the experiment.

One last thing, Ted Kennedy was out front leading the charge on this Abu Ghraib thing that almostr seemed premediatated to me as I recall...

Here's the link;

Defense attorney David Sheldon alleged that NCIS agents fabricated portions of statements that led to charges against 2nd Lt. Phan. Lance Cpl. Faulkner testified that the original statement he signed was typed by NCIS agents who came to him days later and asked him to sign it. He was on guard duty and didn’t have time to go over it. Why was NCIS not questioned by the Court or by the convening authority? NCIS agent Kelly Garbo testified they never put falsehoods in official statements provided to prosecutors. What is her proof of that statement? She doesn’t tape interrogations. She then said she’d never read her NCIS manual.

The above is an absolutely unjust method. It will always have the appearance of being tainted, and it will always be tainted by such things as fallible human memories, inability to truly condense anything ever, even by the best of writers; and the very real likelihood of distortion by the writers.

A couple of things strike me in the article. Both are related to undue command influence.

1. First, the article itself addresses the appearance of undue command influence in a system that allows the convening authority to pick the members of the jury. That truly is a problem that Congress needs to address in a rewrite of the UCMJ.

2. Second, having the NCIS work for the Convening Authority, and appearing to work for the prosecution, also gives the appearance of undue command influence. I'll bet taht NCIS is supposed to be a neutral investigative group. In that regard, THEY should give ALL evidence directly to the prosecution and the defense. This idea that the defense is dependent on the prosecution to get evidence SHOULD BE unnecessary when such a thing as a "convening authority" AND a supposedly "neutral" investigative agency exists. NOT getting the evidence, or difficulty getting the evidence, can be seen by a rational, impartial, intelligent observer as giving the appearance of undue command influence.
