Congress especially created and stewards those military proceedings that give legislative life to environments poisonous to our Constitution. In those courts-martial, military commissions and tribunals where military governors thrive--but deadly to juries and innocence;

GUILT is a living thing!

IN CONGRESS (AS AN ACT OF ATTAINDER)
PROVIDED BY CONGRESS FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AS COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF

AND EVERY SURROGATE COMMANDING OFFICER

EVER EXISTING AND CURRENTLY A MATTER OF

DEFENSE DEPARTMENT POLICY

"...the essence of all military proceedings is summary and vigorous action, and moreover, courts-martial are no part the Judiciary of the United States, are not even courts..., but are, in peace as well as in war, simply bodies of military men ordered to investigate accusations, arrive at facts, and--where just--recommend [to the President of the United States (POTUS) as Commander-in-Chief (CINC)] a punishment [the POTUS/CINC should award to the affected person(s) like U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Kevin Holt, Marine Sergeant Lawrence G. Hutchins, III, and Army RANGER, Staff Sergeant Raymond L. Girouard].

"...In the absence, therefore, of [constitutional protections, no military proceeding] can scarcely be held bound to the same strict adherence [to the United States Constitution] as are the true courts of the United States [created under the Constitution's Article III] and upon [military punishment ceremonies (be they courts-martial, tribunals, or commissions), the bodies of military men ordered by the CINC/POTUS to investigate accusations, arrive at facts, and--where just--recommend punishment] may properly be allowed [to ignore the Constitution and its protections against government tyranny] to pursue a more liberal course in regard to the administration of testimony and the examination of witnesses...

"Courts-martial are not courts, but are, in fact [POTUS/CINC expressions] of the executive power provided by Congress for the President as Commander-in-Chief to aid [the CINC] in properly commanding [the armed forces of the United States] and enforcing discipline therein, and utilized under [POTUS/CINC] orders...they are indeed, creatures of orders [that are unconstrained, unbounded, and completely free to ignore THE CONSTITUTION and each of the constitutional protections against government protection and tyranny]."

--WILLIAM WINTHROP
former U.S. Army Judge Advocate General

"[The POTUS/CINC wants] to get at the fact (no matter how) for the sake of discipline [and to that end,]...THERE IS NO BETTER WITNESS AGAINST A MAN THAN HIMSELF!"

Former U.S. Army Judge Advocate General

Attainder is the practice of legislating guilt and punishment in the absence of a Jury's permission. The Constitution contains in Article I, Section 9, eight specific prohibitions on congressional action. The specific prohibition against Attainder is contained in the the third clause.

The Defense Department policy narrated above are the processes by which ALL SERVICE MEMBERS, civilians, and foreign nationals are brought to U.S. military hearing rooms--UNARMED--to discover what the President of the United States/Commander-in-Chief will decide upon receipt of those recommendations received from his surrogate commanders, who are under the CINC's orders.

The "military proceedings," the courts-martial, military tribunals and commissions are the places innonce goes to die.

Innocence does not exist in the world of attainder.

Hutchins, Girouard, Holt along with every other U.S. warrior presently are congressional prisoners of war. They're entombed behind rocks put in place under presidential order as the commander-in-chief. Federal legislators such as those listed here, although constitutionally forbidded to do so, empowered the President to forever imprison free men, to exercise the power of attainder!

Federal legislators presently and criminally responsible for the crime of Attainder include: William "Bill" Delahunt (MA.), Delahunt's staff attorney John Kivlan, Norm Dicks (WA.), Norm's Executive Assistant George Behan, John J. Duncan, Jr., Duncan's National Security Advisor Jonathon "who wants to take on the Defense Department" Griswold, John "Faith of our fathers" McCain (Az.), Barack "Audacity of hope" Obama (Il.), Walter Jones (N.C.), Ted Kennedy (Ma.), John Kerry (Ma.), Patty Murray (Wa.), Maria Cantwell (Wa.), Jon Kyl (Az.), Jay Inslee (Wa.), Adam Smith (Wa.), Slade Gordon (former Senator, Wa.), Lamar Alexander (Tn.), Bob Corker (Tn.), John Shaddegg (Az.) joined by every other U.S. Representative and Senator, and lest we forget...there's

Haditha's own John "Jack Massacre Murtha!"

America's Articles of War, renamed the Uniform Code of Military Justice over half a century ago, meets each of the three U.S. Supreme Court tests that once met, declares an Act of Congress as the specific constitutional expression of the crime of attainder.

COURTS-MARTIAL ARE NOT COURTS!!

Here endth the lesson.
