Sending an E mail right away!
Ping!
Ditto; thanks for the ping.
We treat the jihadists at Gitmo better than this.
Exactly!
Letter sent, and am writing my congressman.
WHERE IS THE ACLU?
Oh, yeah, they only protect Communists, Perverts and Illegal Alens!
I heard about this on a radio show last night, and it blew me away. I am surprised at our military treating this young men like this when they haven't been charged yet. I don't understand what is going on here.
Just fired off a note to my senator. (Kohl D-WI)

Some folks need to study-up on just what "loyalty" ,eans and how to apply it!
Even Chesty Puller came out of retirement in 1956 and reminded them--must have gone right over their heads!

It's despicable that psycho killer Hasan Akbar -- a mass-murdering koranimal found guilty of killing 2 officers in Kuwait -- gets better treatment on Death Row than the innocent 8 guys held at Camp Pendleton.
And...Puller's distant cousin, Georgie, even before that...

My nephew is at Pendelton and he is very upset about this. He was with those 8 in Iraq a couple weeks before this so called attack. He said there is no way they are quilty of such crimes.
What can we do for them?
I'd like one of our FR Military Attorneys to weigh in on this.
If these men are in "pre-trial confinement", then that means they have been placed there under the UCMJ, have had a hearing that ordered that confinement, and the Authority that placed them in confinement found probable cause to do so.
These men are on active duty and subject to the UCMJ, and there are rules that cover pre-trial confinement. If they arebeing confined "pre-trial", then that implies that they are going to be tried for something, therefore there must be charges against these men that are serious enough to require that level of security, previous military service aside.
Let's not go DU-ish on this. Let's find out what the facts really are first.
The following, I think, lists a couple of Defense Funds....

Me too, but my Senator is Lindsey Graham. Ack.
Yip... yip... yahoo...
I fired off the letter to Kohl.
Good choice, Northern :-)
I'm about ready to go read a book and ignore the news for the rest of the evening. See you tomorrow.
Also, any such confinement, and the terms thereof, is subject to intense review, particularly when it involves shackles. Whoever ordered this is going to be asked a lot of extremely tough questions, and if he's not ready to answer them, he's toast.
Hey! How dare you inject reason into a knee-jerk debate?
Good Morning!
