That Gannon quote is a hoot. My first thought when I saw it was “Gee, I wonder where he got that idea.”

[Lancey Howard]

The telling thing is, if Gannon "can’t think of a single witness desiring of being helpful to the government,” then the only way the (jury) panel of combat veterans will be "helpful to the government" is if the deck is stacked. I sure hope that's not the case. I also hope there's not some cowardly wink-and-nod "split the difference" outcome where Frank is convicted of some pissant minor count just so the prosecution can feel good about themselves. The fact is, I don't trust any of these people as far as I can kick them. I really hope my faith (at least some of it) is restored by the quick, full exoneration SSgt Wuterich deserves.

The scuttlebutt on the Gannon quote is that he’s calling members of SSgt Wuterich’s squad to the stand. They had just told him that they would only answer “yes” or “no” to his questions.

Some rumors have it that LCpl Tatum may testify today. Others say there be more investigation witnesses. So we’ll see.

By the way, after Col Watt, the other two witnesses yesterday were two members of his team. More of the same from them.
