Local residents are being encouraged to send President Bush letters in support of a Tennessee soldier found guilty of negligent homicide for ordering his subordinates to kill Iraqi detainees. Staff Sgt. Ray Girouard, has been sentenced to 10 years in connection to the killings of three Iraqi detainees. Girouard has appealed to the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals. More than 40 residents gathered for a town hall meeting on Saturday with Girouard's attorneys. His lawyers are planning a letter to ask President Bush to commute the sentence. Girouard, of Sweetwater, Tennessee, was found guilty by a military jury last year at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, in the deaths of three detainees during a 2006 raid near Samarra, Iraq. Girouard was the most senior of four 101st Airborne Division soldiers found guilty in the case. ...

A U.S. military officer warned Pentagon officials that an American Detainee was being driven nearly insane by months of punishing isolation and sensory deprivation in a U.S. military brig in South Carolina , according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. While the treatment of prisoners at detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and in Afghanistan and Iraq have long been the subject of human rights complaints and court scrutiny, the documents shed new light on how two American citizens and a legal U.S. resident were treated in military jails in Charleston, S.C. The Bush administration ordered the men to be held in military jails as "enemy combatants" for years of interrogations without criminal charges, which would not have been allowed in civilian jails. The men were interrogated by the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency, repeatedly denied access to attorneys and mail from home and contact with anyone other than guards and their interrogators. They were deprived of natural light for months and for years were forbidden even minor distractions such as a soccer ball or a dictionary. "I will continue to do what I can to help this individual maintain his sanity, but in my opinion we're working with borrowed time," an unidentified Navy brig official wrote of prisoner Yaser Esam Hamdi in 2002. "I would like to have some form of an incentive program in place to reward him for his continued good behavior, but more so, to ...

Seeking to get an appeal panel that has already shown skepticism toward the government’s handling of Chinese Muslim detainees at Guantanamo Bay, lawyers for those 17 prisoners asked the D.C. Circuit Court on Wednesday to assign those same three judges to hear the Bush Administration’s new appeal on the captives’ legal rights. In an emergency motion , the attorneys requested the panel that on June 20 was strongly critical of the government’s reasons for detaining one of those prisoners, ruling that his detention had not been justified and declaring that he was entitled to seek release from Guantanamo. Only that panel, the motion argued, is familiar with the dispute that has now led a federal District judge to order that the 17 individuals be released into the U.S., to live at least temporarily until they could be resettled somewhere other than China. The Justice Department on Tuesday appealed that order and asked the Circuit Court to block it temporarily as it pursues appeals in the lead case, Kiyemba v. Bush (08-5424), and five related cases. The detainees’ counsel are expected to formally oppose a stay of the release order, in papers to be filed at the Circuit Court shortly. The Justice Department asked that Court to act today, and said a stay request would be made in the Supreme Court if the Circuit Court denies one. The Tuesday order by District Judge Ricardo M. Urbina requiring that the 17 Uighurs be brought to Washington sai ...
