It's strange that such a small place should simultaneously house what is best and what is worst about the US military. It's unfortunate that the "worst" is the side taken by both military and civilian authorities. I'm grateful for individual men and women of integrity that represent the rule of law at the risk of their own careers and even their personal liberty. I anxiously await a time when justice and the rule of law are characteristic of the system and not the exceptions.
From the Times:
"Commander Kuebler (pronounced KEEB-ler) is the latest example of a lawyer in uniform attacking the Pentagon’s legal system.
He is no natural agitator. At 37, he is in some ways deeply conventional. Married to the first girl he ever dated in high school, he is a self-described born-again Christian and conservative who has 'never voted for a Democrat.' Tom Fleener, a former Guantánamo military defense lawyer, described Commander Kuebler, saying, 'Take the average conservative guy in the street and multiply that by a million.'”
