The defense is clearly desperate for publicity. They want to try this case on CNN. But, the Washington press corps is not going to want to drive all the way up to Ft. Meade on I-95, so I don’t think that this plan is going to work.
I hope that Major General Carla G. Hawley-Bowland remembers this.
So let me see if I understand you.
The PROSECUTION threatens physical violence...
...and your first thought is the DEFENSE is pulling a publicity stunt.
That may well be the most despicable thing I have ever read on FR.
FR has a lot of latrine keyboard commandos who hate LTC Lakin.
Hey you dips**ts who did KP duty - you lost your country in Nov 2008 in coup.
Lakin actually has the intellect to ead The Constitution. Go back to guarding the sh**ter.
The usurper is a Saudi agent who’s job is to get as many American soldiers killed as possible to th eentertainment of his boss the Saudi king. Shut off the TV and the ball games retards and wake the **** up.
He will become a John Brown...
I will second that.
Desperate? Wrong word. Getting publicity is a normal part of this type of case. SOP. Standard operating procedure.
Tell me though — if they taze Lakin, restrain him and toss him in the van, do you think CNN would cover it?
And then if they busted his head and a few ribs, would CNN cover it then?
Or maybe if they tossed him out of the van and ran back and forth over him a few times — would CNN cover it?
Oh, come on. The defense is using LTC Lakin and he is going to pay the price, not his pompous civilian defense attorney. They want a spectacle and they are willing to sacrifice his career to get it. Defense is not interested in Lakin, he is just their useful idiot. This entire case has never been anything but a stunt.
I’m not sure how CNN could touch any part of this story, no matter how peripherally, without venturing too close to the birth certificate/natural born citizen/Constitutional ineligibility event horizon.
This is exactly what we need to encourage others to join the LTC’s ranks!
The story needs to get out.
Other high ranking officers need to join the suit.
Of Note: Bet that prosecutor wouldn't dare say that about Pvt.Bradley Manning or Julian Assange, both undoubtedly among Obama's closet circle. (/s)
Well, I’m not in the military, and not subject to their code of conduct or orders. If I ever meet this LTC Brodsky, I’ll bitch slap the pussy.
The defense needs to use everything at their disposal since due process and fairness barely exist in these military trials.
Does anyone seriously think Hussein is going to let this true American look bad in court?
LTC Lakin's numerous awards and decorations include the Army Flight Surgeon Badge, Combat Medical Badge, the Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Achievement Medal with one Oak Leaf Clusters, the National Defense Service Medal with Bronze Service Star, the Armed Forces Expedition Medal, the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the Overseas Service Ribbon sixth award and the NATO service medal. He has served previously in Honduras, Bosnia, El Salvador, Korea, and Afghanistan.I assure you my opinion of you will not drop by one iota
Dude, get some glasses.
Crap. Yeah. sorry. I reaalllly do need new glasses.
Err, no. Some off brand webpage claims that the prosecution made a statement that could be a threat, or a bad joke. I doubt very much anything like this occurred, and if it did, its the best news LTC Lakin has had in the past six months. Because a reversal of his (imminent) conviction, for prosecutorial misconduct, is the best chance he has of retiring with some kind of pension.
