I'd also like to remind everybody that they have not been convicted yet, they haven't even started the courts martial (this is a military trial, nothing more). What happened to that "innocent until proven guilty thing?" Or does that not apply to the military whenever Dan Blather has a few pics and some dumb... to interview?

Well....point taken, but those Gomers in the photos look pretty darned guilty to me.
But, you're right. Someone might have photoshopped them. Maybe that woman soldier is really pointing at a chart showing her unit's United Way contributions. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif
Where it's most important that the defendants are considered "innocent until proven guilty" is in the courts-martial.
I make judgements all the time. Have to. Can't wait for all the facts to come in...if they ever do.
I figure Michael Jackson is a guilty dog. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
