Marine Corps Sgt. Heather Cerveny poses for a photo after talking about the allegations of abuse at Guantanamo Bay during an interview with the Associated Press at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, Calif. Friday, Oct. 13, 2006. Marine Lt. Col. Colby Vokey, who represents a detainee at the U.S. naval base in eastern Cuba, filed a 'hotline' complaint last week, attaching a sworn statement from his paralegal, Sgt. Heather Cerveny, 23. In it, Cerveny described comments made by several guards in a bar at Guantanamo Bay. Several of them bragged about beating detainees and described it as common practice.

"Cerveny described comments made by several guards in a bar "

Um, yeah, that's real good "evidence". The press does't really need any supportable facts to run with a story as long as it makes the U.S. look bad.

Gee Heather, do ya think maybe you had a few to many that night and things aren't real clear? Maybe you didn't get a phone call after a heavy night? Maybe a bunch of young guys in a high stress job lettin' off some steam in front of one of the few females they see, after a few beers might, just might be, shall we say, be embellishing?

Well Heather, your career is made, paid for by the USMC. Hope you look good in a burka. They say lynne stewart is a good kisser.

Anyone who wants to be an attorney should be barred from the military. Hell, they should be barred from reproducing.

Sorry if I offended the honorable attorneys. (Both of you).

What would Heather the paralegal do?

The prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay during the war on terror have attacked their military guards hundreds of times, turning broken toilet parts, utensils, radios and even a bloody lizard tail into makeshift weapons, Pentagon reports say.

Incident reports reviewed by The Associated Press indicate Military Police guards are routinely head-butted, spat upon and doused by "cocktails" of feces, urine, vomit and sperm collected in meal cups by the prisoners.

Drunks boasting in a barroom about fantastic deeds isn't anything new. But ever since we've allowed females into the military we've seen more wussy little turncoats than ever before.

Cerveny, 23, visited Guantanamo last month and has said she spent an hour with the guards at the military club. She said the guards stopped discussing beating detainees after finding out that she works for a detainee's legal team.

I once told a young lady I was an F-15 pilot at an NCO club.... good thing I was not under oath!

My initial reaction was that Cerveny is bucking for a discharge. I could be wrong, but that was my feeling.

That a military aide - or personnel of any grade level - would discuss with a commercial news medium an asserted breach of military conduct by other personnel is simply bizarre.

She, and her superiors(s), - assuming both went through basic training - should have known that you do not discuss military matters, especially such as this, outside the investigatory unit.

Both would probably be summarily ejected from the U. S. Marines if it were not for the fact that such an action would raise a public and Congressional clamor. The stockade is really where they should be. They have, without any authorization of any nature, disseminated information which the enemy will utilize.

Even if the charges were valid and evidence supported them, the premature and public dissemination of the allegations would be found to be prejudicial to the defendants - and thus the charges deemed null and void.

"...his paralegal, Sgt. Heather Cerveny..."

What? Does that mean she can't walk?

Now before anyone gets the idea that I don't appreciate handycripple people, I do! If it wasn't for them, I'd never get a parking spot at the grocery store.

"...Cerveny described comments made by several guards..."

Isn't that hearsay - by someone with an adgenda, perhaps?

What is it with these butch-broads anyway?

Well, my job's done here................FRegards
