Known Terrorist Killers Free From GITMO While We Have Soldiers Locked Up In Leavenworth!

Below is a beautiful email sent by Michael Behenna. He is finally home and thank you to all who helped him through calls you made and letters you wrote on his behalf.

Michael is right, the fight is not over. We still have Sons locked up in Leavenworth who need our help. I had the good fortune to visit with Sgt Derrick Miller at Leavenworth this past weekend. I am astounded, after meeting this truly good man, that anyone in their right mind can justify keeping him locked away. I have no doubt Derrick was a good Soldier! Derrick is a good man and a proud man, and he needs our help. There are very disturbing circumstances in Derrick's case involving coercion of the two witnesses (both gave statements that there was a struggle with a gun before Derrick shot Atta Mohammed, son of Mohammed Akbar, (and please note, at trial political correctness dictated that his name not be used, he was referred to as the Afghan man); after CID got involved both witness removed the word "struggle" out of their statements! Spc Charles Miller was told he would be charged with accessory to murder if he left the word "struggle" in his statement; the other witness, and Afghan interpreter, was paid handsomely for his revised statement: $630 per month and promised a Visa to live in the US and, in fact, an officer brought him to Chicago to see if he would like living here, before the trial! It also appears Derricks right to due process was violated. The body of Atta Mohammed was turned over to the family and there were never any forensics done on his hands nor to this head. No forensics on the gun and given that Derrick said there was a struggle with the gun, those forensics could have validated Derrick's testimony that he shot Mohammed in self defense.

I listened to Derrick this past weekend and the base he was on where this incident occurred, was expecting attacks, they were on high alert. 20 minutes after Derrick shot Mohammed Atta the base was attacked and many of Derrick's Soldiers believed that Derrick's actions had saved lives during that attack. Everyone had moved from their position! One thing that haunts me is that Mohammed Atta told Derrick that American Soldiers had killed his brother. Hmmm...Derrick believed Mohammed and his sons were walking the perimeter preparing for the coming attack on our Soldiers. He said he was there to fix a water pump, Derrick said where's your tools?? No tools, then he said he was there to fix a generator, no tools. Gee, maybe he and his sons were there to scout all positions of Soldiers and their weapons so he could give the Taliban enough info to blow up all the Soldiers on that base, avenge his brothers death. Sure wish we could find out who is brother was!

I am in the process of setting appointments with Maryland Congressman as that is where Derrick and his mother are from. In fact, Derrick's mom lives in Chris Van Hollen's district and he has agreed to meet with us for 20 minutes on April 29th. Until then, please call your Congressman and Senators and ask them to support Clemency for Derrick. Folks, if this case were held in civilian court, with the destruction of the evidence in this case, I believe the conviction would be thrown out. Please help us fight for Derrick and for that matter all the guys in Leavenworth. I think the best argument for all our Sons is that since Obama keeps releasing terrorists, it is only right that he release our Sons too. What is good enough for the terrorists, should be good enough for our Sons!

You can also support Derrick by sending him letters, money orders (he has two daughters he loves dearly), books...please visit http://www.derrickmiller.org/support/ to see what you can do to help him.

All you radio folks out there, I'm sure Derrick Miller's mom would appreciate your support and would be happy to tell her Son's story on your radio show. And as a last resort, you can write a letter to the President, let him know that if he had a Son, he would look like Derrick Miller! Ask for Clemency for this good Soldier who did what he was taught to do, protect his Brothers, and for that he was given a life sentence! Thank You Beverly Perlson The Band of Mothers http://www.derrickmiller.org/

Dear Freepers Everywhere,
Your help is needed ASAP, and I beg you to please read all the info below and get as many patriots you can to make phone calls to members of Congress from your state. It will take some time to read all the information below, but certainly won't take much time to make a few phone calls. And Especially to the members of Congress from the State of Maryland listed below. We MUST stand up for our heroes! Thank you so very much!

*****************************************

The level of disrespect from this administration towards our Veterans and our brave men and women of the United States Military has reached such level of disgrace that it is extremely difficult to remain civil in my remarks. I have held my tongue for a long time but can no longer remain silent.

For a long time, I reached out to all on my email list many times asking for your help for the outrageous and cruel treatment our Veterans have been suffering under the mis-management of the incompetent senior executives at the VA, who have received outrageous bonuses for their criminal conduct in covering up the waiting lists resulting in the deaths of our most noble Veterans.
Again, I thank Florida Congressman Jeff Miller for his relentless persistence in his attempts to hold the VA accountable in the deaths of our precious Veterans and much thanks to Concerned Veterans For America for all their hard work. BUT most of all, I thank all of you on this email list who made tons of calls to keep the pressure on.

I recently asked all of you Patriots on this email list to make calls on behalf of Marine Sgt..Andrew Tahmooressi, who is being held in chains in a Mexican jail for making a wrong turn near the border. I know your calls and your concern for this Marine Son of ours is making a difference and I thank you all for the pressure you are putting on your representatives.

As this administration continues to release the worst of the worst terrorists (remember DaqDuq, he murdered 5 American Sons but before he murdered them, he tortured them and dumped their precious bodies on the side of the road!), our Sons continue to stay locked up in Leavenworth. DaqDuq is out running around and this administration has no idea where he but I have no doubt he has returned to the battlefield to kill and maim more of our Sons. Obama and his administration continue to release terrorists out of Gitmo with the blood of Americans on their hands. There are now only 149 terrorists left in Gitmo.

The latest reckless and dangerous act by Obama and his “dudes” exchanged 5 of the worst butchers from GITMO for Bowe Bergdahl, who walked away from his Brothers on the battlefield and walked toward the enemy! The level of danger he is putting our Troops, and for that matter, all American is unconscionable. The terrorist released out of Camp Bucca told the Commander in charge “I'll see you in New York.” Obama and his dudes have unleashed upon our Troops and all Americans butchering terrorists who live by their murdering mantra “Death To America, Death To Israel!”

The latest outrage is the capture of the alleged ringleader who led the slaughter of our 4 American Sons in Benghazi. The story by Obama and his “dudes and dudettes is that he is being held on a ship for interrogation, rather than being transferred to Gitmo. We must be nice to these little butchers, you know, so I figure he is being served tea and crumpets and whatever else he might fancy. What is most maddening is that he will reach our shores, be read his Miranda rights and tried in a civilian court of law!!! All this crap going on under this administration while our American Sons continue to sit in Leavenworth and let me tell you, I've been there, there is no soccer field at Leavenworth and there were no Miranda rights and there was no civilian courts for them. AND there doesn't seem to be one ounce of concern from this administration for their rights or their welfare. They have locked the door to Leavenworth and it has only recently swung open once, for lst Lt Michael Behenna. And that happened because of you wonderful Patriots who made calls relentlessly and put the pressure on.

AND Now I'm asking for your help for another Soldier, Sgt Derrick Miller, sitting in Leavenworth serving a life sentence for defending himself and protecting his men on this appeasing and apologizing battlefield of Afghanistan. This is a battlefield where all the rights are afforded to the terrorists and God forbid if one of our Sons, in his defense and defense of his Brothers, shoots and kills the enemy. For that, Sgt Derrick Miller was charged with pre-meditated murder and given a life sentence. Derrick's case is most troubling and if Derrick's case were tried in a civilian court, it would be thrown out because all the forensic evidence was destroyed! Further, one witness was promised immunity if he changed his statement or his other choice was to be charged as an accessory to murder. The other witness, the interpreter, was offered $630 a month and before trial, one of the officers brought him to Chicago to see if he would like living here, and he was promised a VISA!

I recently accompanied Derrick Miller's mother, Renee Myers, up to the hill for appointments I had arranged with Democrat representatives from Maryland. Derrick and his mother are from Maryland . Trust me when I say this, these were extremely difficult appointments. All we asked each for was that they write a letter, as a Maryland Delegation, in support of a reduction in Derrick's sentence. What we got were promises that they would look into his case and get back to us. One legislative Director actually told me quite sternly when I asked what they had to say to this mother whose son continues to sit in Leavenworth as this administration releases terrorists right and left with the blood of American Soldiers on their hands, his response was “BUT WE'RE TRYING TO CLOSE GITMO!!!”

Folks, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!! Why do American mothers have to hire lawyers and accrue enormous legal fees in their attempt to get their sons released from Leavenworth yet the terrorist's mothers never spend a dime and their sons go home?!! The time has come that we as Americans demand that our Sons be released. Obama’s argument now is they are releasing terrorists because the war is ending. Well then RELEASE OUR SONS FROM LEAVENWORTH NOW!!!!!

We need your help and we need that pressure you are all so good at applying!!! Please make calls today on behalf of Sgt Derrick Miller and ask the two Congressman below to advocate for his release. This is an election year and they are both legislatures from Maryland. Derrick and his mother live in Congressman Van Hollen’s district and he did nothing to help Derrick's mother except to send her a website link for further legal help, even though one of his point people and former jag told Renee there is evidence of “undue command influence in Derrick's case. The other Congressman we ask that you call is Elijah Cummings as we were told he has a lot of pull up there.

And Lastly, if you will, please call Congressman Charlie Rangel, from New York, as he is the only Congressman who has written a letter in support of Derrick. I reached out to him last year as he is a Veteran. He wrote to General Ordinero requesting Derrick receive a clemency hearing, and in his letter he stated, “due to the complicated circumstances of Sgt Miller's case and the extreme nature of war.” Derrick did receive one clemency hearing, thanks to Charlie Rangel!

Congressman Chris Van Hollen.....Phone: (202) 225-5341
Congressman Elijah Cummings.....Phone: (202) 225-4741
Congressman Charlie Rangel........Phone: (202) 225-4365

I implore each of you with all my heart, please pick up your phones today, tomorrow, and the weeks to come and call the Congressman we have listed above and your Congressman and Senators too. The time has come for our Sons to come home!
Please forward this to everyone on your lists.

With A Mother's Heart, Thank You!
