BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A 24-year-old Military Policeman has been ordered to stand trial this month in the first court-martial scheduled in connection with abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison, the military said Sunday.

Spc. Jeremy C. Sivits of Hyndman, Pennsylvania, a member of the 372nd Military Police Company, will stand trial in Baghdad on May 19, according to Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt.

Sivits has been charged with conspiracy to maltreat subordinates and detainees, dereliction of duty for negligently failing to protect detainees from abuse and cruelty and maltreatment of detainees, Kimmitt said.

Seven soldiers including Sivits are facing criminal charges for alleged abuse of Iraqi prisoners. Photographs of the abuse were published throughout the world. Sivits is the first for whom a trial date has been set.

President George W. Bush vowed Saturday that "we will learn all the facts and determine the full extent of these abuses. Those involved will be identified. They will answer for their actions."

1. THIS WILL BE A COURT MARTIAL IN SECRET

MEANWHILE HIS BOSS General "HERMAN MEYERS" is covering it up.

Meyers is working overtime to keep the lid on this. According to MSNBC the "PICTURES
AREN'T EVEN IN DC YET"

What a Freaking LIE. They could send a Giga bite of data in 2 seconds for heaven sakes ---do
they believe we are that STOOPID ??

NeoCon Fucking liars posing as Generals



Next week or the week after next the NEOCON Generals plan to let a few select congressMEN
see them..

Then after the congressMEN go on TV with their usual outrage statements THE PENTAGON
will decide what to do next.

I hope the DINOS and others keep the heat on these CRIMINALS IN UNIFORM

4. I will repeat what I have

writte in another post: these "6 oh, now it's 7 bad apples" did not do this on their own. They must have taken orders from someone. Where are these people?

And why are they starting on the bottom? Well, George?

5. There's a lot more than 7 and with a lot higher rank than SPC.

I am steeling myself for only the enlisted being tried and Shrub declaring "mission accomplished"

They'll take the enlisted down , call it over with it...just to protect the full truth of what was going on there.

7. Kos wrote today about Lindsey Graham's appearance on Face the

Nation? Kos wrote that he appeared to have had nails for
breakfast and was very clear in noting that he would not
be satisfied with only enlisted people as scapegoats.
I was not aware that he was a JAG. Interesting times.

8. I'D LIKE TO ASK HIM ABOUT THE PICTURE BELOW

SCHINDLER'S LIST



Ralph Fiennes plays a chilling Amon Goeth in the movie, and plays him to the point that some
people have had trouble distinguishing him from the real thing.

Poldek Pfefferberg, one of the Schindler Jews, famously said, "When you saw Göeth, you saw
death."



GENERAL MYERS TRIBUTE TO AMON GOETH



THIS IS GOING OVER REAL WELL IN EUROPE
