Save LT Pantano - Update

It looks like some sense of sanity has crept into LT Pantano's case. The officer in charge of his Article 32 hearing has now determined that there is no evidence that LT Pantano committed murder. However, the officer wants to charge LT Pantano with firing too many bullets into the already dead bodies of the suspected terrorists. Give me a break! The Marine was taught to win by killing the enemy during war and he did exactly that. I didn't know that the Geneva Conventions included a limit on the number of bullets you can shoot into a body. If anyone was in his position, they would be too pumped up full of excitement, fear, anger, etc. to stop until they are out of bullets. This is war and we need to treat it as such until we win.

Respect Michael Graham's Rights

Dear Montgomery County Police Department:

As a former policeman myself, I found your treatment of Michael grahamvery unfair and unprofessional. Michael Graham is a well-knownpolitical commenter who was at the protest for legitimate reasons. Ifsome illegal immigrant might find his choice of attire or questionsoffensive, that's his business. I find it offensive that you keptharrassing him over his identification when you knew that thereillegal immigrants at that rally and you did absolutely nothing tothem. Try enforcing the laws on the books for a change instead ofviolating Mr. Graham's First Admendment rights. If you arrest him, Iwill be excersing my 1st Amendment rights and start a protest movementagainst your baised actions.

Sincerely, John Dittmer
