Hearts and minds
FORT BLISS, Texas (AP) - A military jury convicted an Army reservist of assault, maltreatment, maiming and making a false official statement on Thursday for assaulting a prisoner who later died at a detention center in Afghanistan.
The jury acquitted Brand of charges that he abused a second detainee. Both prisoners died just days after arriving at the detention center at Bagram Airfield north of the Afghan capital of Kabul.
Homicide charges against Brand, who served in the 337th Military Police Company, were dropped earlier this year.
Prosecutors had asked that Pfc. Willie V. Brand, 27, be sent to a military prison for 10 years with a dishonorable discharge. Instead, the panel reduced his rank to private.
For those unfamiliar with military acronyms Willie was demoted to private from private first class.
7 Step to the white courtesy phone:
I'm sure that his punishment will restore any lost faith, that the rest of the world has in the people in charge at USA Inc.
Of course, "some" people will cry foul and say it is a white wash.
And of course, "those" people will have at least 5 working braincells, and will be dead right.
Just think of the backlash that the message that this sends out will cause.

Hmmm... anyone remember the ludicrisly named Office Koons?

Officer Koons was one of the stout yeomen of the los Angeles police who made the great mistake of being video'ed whilst beating up Rodney King.
Office Koons was an ill-judged mail order service.
