Exactly...I honestly dont know how these JAG prosecutors sleep at night, theyre supposed to be military officers Not Sullivan, he's a govt puppet. Sullivan approached the BOI like it was a GCM by trying the case against Chessani all over again. He kept trying to get the pictures of the dead civilians displayed in the courtroom - in an effort to invoke shock- but he was shot down by the presiding Judge.

That was the scuttle-but today, that Mabus would reject the decision of the Board.
The Chessani’s have been through enough and this needs to end once and for all.
I do fear for Frank because they’ll be gunning for him.

I accuse Mark Walker of buffoonery. Every Court needs a Jester. Unfortunately, they had more than one...
I am greatly relieved at the ruling.

Jaz. I did not hit the rack. Could not sleep, and have been wading through current world low temps over the globe as well as follow ups on various sites regarding the climategate scam.
So I guess you got the last response from me this morning. Do have a great upcoming day. But stay out of Canada. Poor bastards at Fort Churchill in Monitoba and some other mid Canadian provinces are in the the -30 plus lows right now. And it taint even winter just yet.
Nighty nite.

Muise gave an impassioned closing, stating “You want Battalion commanders to win wars, not be paper pushers” and this is a “Political firestorm”. Muise asked the board to view the evidence in light of proper context, and reminded the board that the Marines were moving into Haditha, not Oceanside.
He ended with the “Govt couldn’t get a pound of flesh so now they want an ounce of flesh” “Close this case once and for all!”
Muise was very emotional and said everything everyone of us has wanted to say for 4 years. Col Chessani is an honorable man and the USMC just ruined one of the Good guys.
Some Scuttle but - Thoughts are that the Sec Nav will overrule the Board’s recommendations, demote Chessani and find him with misconduct.
It’s PERSECUTION, not prosecution.

Ping to #52. Thanks, Saoirise. I’m so glad to hear that.
I’m sure Sec Nav feels he must do something to justify time and effort, expenses and stupidity. How many freaking times does a man need to be cleared, FGS. Of course, demoting all the dorks that propelled this horsecrap probably won’t enter the Wizard’s mind. But that will just make him Prince of Dorkness, then.

Prosecutors argued that Chessani was derelict by failing to accurately report the number of deaths and not ordering an investigation after learning several women and children were among the dead.We have way too many lawyers overseeing the military. Combine that with our wasteful spending on affirmative action and EEO quotas putting less qualified leaders in place, and increasing cost to accommodate them, we are no longer a lean, mean, fighting machine, but more meals on wheels and world police. My guess that the military wastes about 30% of its resources catering to moronic social experiments demanded by the ladies in our congress.
Chessani should be getting a promotion and a hero's welcome, IMO.

Mark Walker...I know of too many times people have directly spoken to him with exculpatory evidence, evidece of undue command influence in Hamdania and Haditha, and Walker just repeats the prosecution statements, totally ignoring what he had presented to him by people who are defending the accused
What a loser.
