With three weeks to go in this election cycle, the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld Axis of Evil is trying to silence yet another Abuse Scandal. Seems that our military has been ROUTINELY beating the living chit out of the prisoners in lock up at Gitmo, and bragging about their activities in the local bars!
Marine Lt. Col. Colby Vokey, who represents a detainee at the U.S. naval base in eastern Cuba formally filed a complaint with the Pentagon last week...Pentagon's response....order the Lt. Col. and his paralegal, Sgt. Heather Cerveny NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT to ANY ONE! That's right, they have been given a gag ordered, forbidden to answer questions from the press.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - A paralegal and a military lawyer who brought forward allegations about prisoner abuse at the Guantanamo Bay detention center have been ordered not to speak with the press, lawyers and a military spokeswoman said
Marine Lt. Col. Colby Vokey, who represents a detainee at the U.S. naval base in eastern Cuba, filed a complaint with the Pentagon last week alleging that abuse was ongoing at the prison. He attached a sworn statement from his paralegal, Sgt. Heather Cerveny, in which she said several Guantanamo guards bragged in a bar about beating detainees, describing it as common practice.

I AGREE WITH THE COMMENT MADE BY KANSAS CITIZEN: PEOPLE - GET OUT AND VOTE....!
TAKE TIME AND READ THE SMALL PRINT, LOOK AT THE VOTING RECORDS OF THE CANDIDATES AND PARTY LINES...PERSONALLY I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!! GET INVOLVED AND MAKE YOUR VOICE KNOWN...WHERE EVER YOU CAN.
I think thats why the majority of us, or at least the ones commenting on this article, are here at Gather....trying to do that very thing. Now we just have to get others to 'hear' us!
Ask your self this question. Why were those two people ordered " not to speak with the press " ? Sounds like a cover-up to me regardless of the bar conversation.
