But if these guys are found innocent now there will be universal screams of "cover up." This is not a crime by these 5 to 15 individuals, this is a "war crime" by the United States and we've already been tried and convicted.
Hopefully, the military is leaking this report so it won't explode on the scene like Abu Ghrabib. I think the military is smarter now.
The Pentagon released complete information (minus pictures) about Abu Ghrabe at the time, but four months later some raunchy pictures (some of which proved to be fakes) were "leaked" to the press and the "scandal" broke. It didn't matter that the people involved were already under arrest and facing court martial... we were "covering up" this "war crime."
I think the media loved the pictures. It was anti-American pornography. They could show it over and over again and pretend they were doing a news story. They are pretty pathetic.
