But with the media, each source will tell what they feel like telling. And, yes, the act with the consenting soldiers was dumb, but shouldn't have been in this court martial.

Smith. What a crock! Does the guy have a "fan site" of sorts? I'd like to find it. I support this guy 100%. As a kid, I got harrassed all the time by loose dogs, snarling and growling AND THEY WEREN'T ON CHAINS! I wonder if I can go back to those owners and have them thrown into prison for 8 yrs??? This country has gone crazy. Send all the liberals to Canada and we'll take their dozen or so conservatives to replace them. I can’t believe this news on Michael J. Smith. What a crock!

This poor guy. Not the best of choices on what he did but Pappas Fritaz should have been the one taking the fall if not alone or beside him.

It's really irritating how the command personnel seem to get away with stuff and those under them always catch the heat.... in this situation as well as many others. Makes you really stop and think, doesn't it? I couldn’t agree with you more CJ.

Abu Garb - Gitmo is ridiculous copout was hyper-exaggerated by the Democratic Party merely to stain President Bush. The arrogances of these leaders should called into account. This Col Pappas has shamed his uniform - and should humiliated. Sgt. Smith may have been stupid by emailing the pictures - and maybe some of the actions taken were wrong... but does excuse the Democrats from grinding every detail out so the media could make sure the enemies knew? How can this be justified - all for selfish political gain..!

There is a picture of his dog in the face of a prisoner. I'll research this a little more and get back to you. Warthog, to my knowledge, this wasn’t about emailing pictures.
