Seems pretty clear that the US Government&#039;s plan was to railroad everyone it caught into prison to promote the idea: Guilty Until Proven Innocent, rather than Innocent Until Proven Guilty. There is evidence that Clinton&#039;s &quot;Justice&quot; Department tried to introduce that doctrine as it strove to destroy the lives of several people associated with the Lewinsky Affair. The FBI actions at Waco and Ruby Ridge also merit inclusion in such efforts.

I am compelled to applaud the efforts of the military defense lawyers, whose actions make a mockery of the military as a whole. That Obama has allowed Susan Crawford to retain her position tells us quite a lot about him, none of it good.</description>

		<description>On The Public Record, arcticredriver made the following comment:

Very interesting.  Maybe, if a movie is made, Mohamed Jawad, and those who agreed to work on his case pro bono, or at reduced rates, could be listed as consultants, and see a share if the film makes a profit.  One of the other lawyers, a public defender from the mid-west, and a former police officer, made his own trip to Afghanistan, to look for witnesses.  I think that was circa 2006.  He was given the big stall, had waited a year or so, without getting permission to visit his clients.  So he made his own way to Afghanistan, at his own expense. 

It was probably a sign of the weaknesses of the evidence against his clients -- he received an email telling him both of his clients had been scheduled for release, upon his return to the USA.</description>
