    Just a thought

    First, I know only what the press, network, and cable TV has told me about the situation, and that makes it unreliable at best. Second, I hardly doublt Bush knew anything about the situation until after it happened, and it appears the guity parites went to jail, so if Charles is still in jail he must have been the ring leader. The details have been kept pretty quite by the military, and rightfully so. I was in the military and tortune is not condoned, period. If you do then you go directly to jail, and again that's where they ended up.

    But, I do agree the family needs to know exactly what happened and the family should be informed as to the reason.
