Man, what is it with America? Our great and glorious court system won't extend any legal considerations to PWOT detainees and "suspected" terrorists, but just look at its somersaults on behalf of Lieutenant Colonel Jordan, the highest-ranking officer charged in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal ("Two Charges Dropped.")

Major General George Fay, who interviewed Jordan in 2004 regarding the scandal, just did an about-face regarding that legality of said interview, thereby nullifying the lies that Jordan had spoken, and considerably reducing the sentence the latter will face if convicted.

MG Fay recently had an astounding experience of recollection, and "contacted prosecutors Sunday to say that he 'misspoke' during a March 12 pretrial hearing in which he testified under oath that he had advised Jordan of his rights during an interview in 2004." In his new, updated memory, he failed to read Jordan his rights.

This is strictly a put-up job and a lie. It is almost 100% assured that investigator Fay lied or omitted reading Jordan his rights as a way to short-circuit the investigation. CID agents are trained as a matter of course to read subjects their rights; this is what they do for a living. He is incorrectly hiding behind the dignity of an Army uniform.

The CID Command is a Military Police command, and Jordan, as Military Intelligence liaison officer to the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade, worked hand-in-hand on a daily basis with the MPs. Every fine point of the law is followed to protect officer shitbags like Jordan.

U.S. personnel, both officer and enlisted men, have illegally detained foreign nationals and tortured and/or abused them in a myriad of ways in this cruel hoax that is the Phony War on Terror (PWOT ©). Some have even died of their injuries following their harsh, torturous questioning, but that's o.k. -- they're evil.

LTC Jordan's trial had the fix-in from the highest levels. Just like Scooter Libby, both knew too much for the administration to screw them. Their foul collusion with the administration was their rip-cord. Jordan's case seems proof that the C in C issued the war crimes orders which directed the atmosphere at Abu Ghraib.

How can one support the troops as a patriotic American, when war crimes are the order of the day? Didn't we just fight against such things a couple of wars back?

What a difference 50 years can make.
