Since .20 Kennedy has been on the Judiciary Committee for around 700 years, does anyone know if he has indeed helped other families, maybe non-military families, in the past with a legal matter??
(see tagline)
If you offered him a drink I'll bet he wouldn't refuse that. Creep!
And defending Marines, Marines that were in Iraq, is NOT on his agenda.
I really don't think that Kennedy would give a hoot if all military personnel were in prison. He wants space taken up where he should be.
Chickens**t answer! But did this family actually expect anything better out of this loser?
They were going to ask help because of the treatment that their son got while being interrogated by NIS and NCIS.
They were deprived of sleep, water, and head calls.
Prisoners in GITMO are treated better.
3 of them were coerced to sign confessions that they later recanted and tried to waive their hearings and go straight to trial, but the Marine Corps refused to allow it.
Their congresscritter, Delahunt, also refused to help them. They were abandoned by their own state people, while their state people make deals with the terrorist loving Chavez!
Mentioning that about his agenda, for a sitting senator to call the treatment of prisoners at GITMO a war crime, to then refuse to even assist or personnaly answer their pleas to help their son who is only ACCUSED, not caught trying to kill Americans in combat, but ACCUSED of something before trial, the swimmer has sunk to a new low.
Too bad they didn't ignore his butt about 30 years ago...................
Couldn't he have at LEAST said he supports the military, and hope justice prevails, prays for the family etc. That seemed awfully cold and pass-the-buckish.
What Race is trying to say is that these men have been prejudged in the press and that they have been treated as guilty by the service in which they served. In pretrial confinement they have been subjected to restrictions and disabilities that implies a presumption of guilt.
What did the letter that the family wrote say?
He could have found out why they were sequestered longer and under more harsh conditions than most prisoners at GITMO,
he could have insisted on them being innocent before proven guilty,
he could have called the family and asked what he could do,
he could have done a lot of things but all he did was pass it off and claim he had a conflict of interest
Doesn't 'scan'. United is pronounced 'yew-nited', so it starts off with a non-vowel sound; therefore it gets the 'a' treatment.
Change to an opening vowel sound, and it would pick up the 'an'; "As an Unpopular Senator...."
- IIG, nitpicker extraordinaire
There is no bail in the military justice system so pretrial detention for serious crimes is not out of the ordinary, and since when the investigation started there was every possibility that the defendants would be charged with a capital crime the detention was certainly warranted. Even in the civilian justice system bail can be denied in serious cases.
Mostly because there is absolutely no good reason for not having an Article 32 hearing, unless the defense strategy is to appeal with a basis of ineffective assistance of counsel.
His brother is turning over in his grave.
They are. What's the problem?
