Myths About Afghanistan
Victor Davis Hanson on whether Afghanistan is really the "graveyard of empires ..."
I posted a telephone conversation with Camp Pendleton media relations below. Stupid discussion, it was. But I did get to lodge the complaint that the seven Marines and one Navy Corpsman were in the brig without charges having been filed.
The Marine Corps Times is reporting that they have removed the shackles from the men in custody. Well … and … what else? When are you going to release them? My complaint was — and still is — that they are in custody without having been charged. Oh. And it wasn’t just me either. There are thousands of other people lodging the same complaint. I just took credit for it.

I know that the military can confine to an area while investigating, but I never heard of being in the brig without charges.
Good work.
