Gee I thought the pledge to support the Constitution of the United State, and all that stuff about defending against foreign and domestic terrorist trumped client/lawyer privilege particularly for Jags.
He must be reading another Constitution than the one I have posted next to my computer.

"Gee I thought the pledge to support the Constitution of the United State, and all that stuff about defending against foreign and domestic terrorist trumped client/lawyer privilege particularly for Jags." You thought wrong - very wrong. Which is exactly why a Navy JAG sued Rumsfeld in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, and prevailed in the Supreme Court. Here, a JAG was defending a sworn enemy of the US and it's Constitution in a military tribunal, but that didn't preclude him from providing his best legal counsel possible, in any way.
