Happy to see that one attorney stated that Panetta should just "shut up" and that unlawful command influence was brought up.

The lawyer is right but it's too late. Panetta's been running his mouth alot. We've already got the taint of possible UCI. Add to that Panetta's total disregard for the presumption of innocence inherent in the UCMJ. Another damn Murtha.

“He went out in the morning, early morning, and went to these homes and fired on these families and then at some point after that came back to the forward operations base and basically turned himself in, told individuals what had happened,” Panetta said.

Another damn Murtha is right, this pandering to the press and Karsai is sickening. Whether every word he's said is true or not, it should not have been said by any military or government official, especially the SECDEF. I guess it's to be expected from 0bama’s SECDEF though, may have been ordered to say it.
