An American Soldier's Family Asks For Help

La Jolla, CA- The family of Staff Sergeant Ray Girouard, a 24 year old highly-decorated elite Army Ranger who has served two tours of duty in Iraq,is asking for your help.

While out on a mission to raid a terrorist training camp (let that sink in), Staff Sergeant Girouard gave orders to shoot three Iraqi detainees who he says had attempted escape after having been captured as prisoners. An investigation initially cleared him of any wrong doing, but he now faces charges of murder after a conflicting account of what happened was provided by a disgruntled soldier under his command.

Today Ray Girouard sits in a military prison and is unable to afford a civilian attorney for proper legal representation. He is represented only by the military equivalent of a public defender: someone who is over-booked, under-staffed and waiting for 5PM to arrive daily.

Ray Girouard deserves a fair hearing with expert representation free from politics and outside agendas. Without proper representation the military judicial system will force a plea bargain deal and harsh sentence without blinking an eye, as has happened to other soldiers in this case who also could not afford outside legal help. Sound impossible in America? Just ask Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose' Compeon.

Those interested in contributing to Girouard's legal expenses can write to:

NO DEAL FOR LANCE CORPORAL PENNINGTON!!

Court-martial set for Marine from Mukilteo!

"Pennington accused Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents of threatening him with the death penalty and telling him it would be a mistake to ask for an attorney."

JAG Hunter here: WELL DONE to Lcpl. Robert Pennington!! It needs be pointed out James H. Connolly, supervisory special agent in the PENDLETON EIGHT investigation, is contemporaneously criminally named to the FBI for communicating a threat in a separate episode near Bremerton-Silverdale, WA.

Pilots in court martial cover-up

"A senior American general in charge of a US probe into what went wrong recommended two airmen face court martial, The Sun can reveal.

But defence chiefs over-ruled his findings into the Iraq war tragedy to clear both A10 tankbuster pilots of any wrongdoing."

Commander says he felt 'bit betrayed' by Watada

"Antonia's comments drew murmurs from among 30 spectators, most Watada supporters, in a court overflow room when he told the court soldiers are obligated to determine for themselves whether they are given an illegal order."

WORDS MEAN THINGS

Clever JAGs and command racketeers use modern language to misinform and confuse the general public regarding the real workings of the military discipline system.

Describing commissioned military officers as "military judges," is like calling Punxsutawney Phil a weather man.

Guy Montag, a major character in Ray Bradbury's famous Fahrenheit 451, is described a "Fireman." But in Bradbury's world the conditions of Montag's employment require the "Fireman" to set books afire and murder citizens. Bradbury's "Firemen" do not to protect lives or property.

They take them.

Military panels are not juries, nor do they operate in any way as a federal jury. Courts-martial are not federal courts. Commissioned military officers described as military judges are not federal judges. Military due process is not civilian "due process." There can be no appeals in a world absent courts, juries, and judges. In the military there are instead reviews of command decisions.

And so it goes.

Here endth the lesson.
