The Leavenworth 10 remain imprisoned as Obama clears out Guantanamo:
The Obama administration is emptying the military’s Guantanamo Bay detention facility of avowed terrorists captured fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, but several American service members languish in another military prison for actions on those same battlefields that their supporters say merit clemency, if not gratitude.
Among the prison population at Fort Leavenworth, in Kansas, are remaining members of the so-called “Leavenworth 10,” convicted service members doing terms ranging from 10 to 40 years for heat-of-the-battle decisions their supporters say saved American lives.
“The very people who protect our freedoms and liberties are having their own freedoms and liberties taken away,” said retired U.S. Army Col. Allen West, a former congressman and political commentator. “I think it’s appalling and no one is talking about this issue.”
This is rabbit 101. Free the terrorists because imprisoning them is inhumane, but keep our soldiers imprisoned, because they are bad people. Most of rabbit logic is an excuse to screw over the K-strategists in our societies, and not be punished for it.
Donald Trump vowed Tuesday to stand by his campaign manager who was charged with misdemeanor battery over allegations he grabbed the arm of then-Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, as the aide maintained his innocence.
The Republican front-runner told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in an exclusive interview to air Tuesday night on “Hannity” at 10 p.m. ET he saw “virtually nothing” in the surveillance tapes of the incident.
“I’m very glad that we were able to produce the tape because I don’t see anything. I see virtually nothing,” he told Hannity. “And we’re going to destroy a man’s life over this?”
He even said, “I don’t discard people.” You never see a leader today do that. It speaks directly to who Donald is inside.
Donald should take a public stand on the Leavenworth Ten. Releasing them would cost nothing, it would force Obama to either take action early or look disloyal, and it would draw in followers who are dying for a President who is loyal to Americans for a change.
The nation today is filled with such people.
