The military are not the police and the police are not the military. Occupation is a police or civil affairs function, not something combat arms are trained to do. With too few translators it can’t be accomplished, because people can’t function in an information vacuum.

From my days in law enforcement I seem to remember that complaints were made by attorneys, not be suspects, and don’t don’t ever remember seeing a “suggestion box” in a jail.

Oh..may favorite line is this: “…First Lt. Lea Ann Fracasso, said in written answers to questions that the men had been “treated fair and humanely,” and that there was no record of either man complaining about their treatment.”

No record of their complaints! Hahahahaha! That’s hillarious in a Twisted/Sick sort of way – but so typical of how these folks operate. Yep …who could possibly complain about their Club Med experinces at Camp Cropper!

“Throwing people in solitary when they provide you with intelligence is not a winning strategy.” But it does dove-tail entirely into the *punish the whistleblowers* and at my most cynical…this is what they have done.

It’s in the line of – OH, you’re going to make us investigate this? Cause us Trouble…We’ll show You. With bit of You’re a *Security Threat* thrown in for good measure…and Voila – They can treat you as they wish for months on end with no explanation or recourse. And I’m sure they might one day apologize – but if I were Mr. Vance i wouldn’t hold my breath…and I’d file that lawsuit instead!
