Update: The Judicial Waterboarding of our Marines

Judge Larson has released Sergeants Nelson and Weemer to the Marine Corps. They did not testify.

Quote from Joe Low, Sgt Nelson’s attorney:

“After considering all points of the law, and finding that Sergeants Nelson and Weemer were in contempt of court and are still in contempt of court, and taking into consideration their training, their commitment to each other and the fact they are brother Marines, and under belief they were never going to testify against each other, the Judge released these Marines and they are now free. Judge Larson’s fair ruling took into account the service that these Marines have given to their country. I thank the judge for his actions.”

Please thank Judge Larson for releasing Sergeants Nelson and Weemer by sending a letter or email of gratitude. Remember to be polite and professional as this Judge proved these Marines were not going to be forgotten over this 4th of July weekend.

"We don’t believe MEJA was intended for the purpose of prosecuting decorated combat Marines. ... We take issue with this statute, with over-zealous investigators and politicians, and with senior DoD leaders who do not publicly challenge the legality and jurisdictional reach of MEJA – all while enlisted Marines languish in jail."

I feel for Sergeant Nazario deeply but his case has far deeper implications for our country then his personal nightmare.

The civilian courts have been used for decades as battlegrounds for "green" issues, "gay" issues, "immigration" issues, ad infinitum. This has been a very effective means for small vocal groups to amplify their impact and reach on the national level.

What happens when the anti-war left seizes this option to harass, demoralize and cripple our war fighters? This is VERY bad. Will the Haditha Marines be back in court to fight for their freedom? Does double jeopardy apply? I don’t think so. Please write your congressional delegation and urge them to act against this misuse of MEJA.
