Tracy of the Seattle ACT! Chapter asked all chapter leaders to circulate
this message. I checked out the link supplied below and suggest that you do
too. I realize that there may be more to this story, but it doesn't look
very good for military "justice." -- Allan PLS FWD!
*1st. Lt. Michael Behenna*
I received a plea for help from a friend of mine who wanted to get the word
out about 1st Lieutenant Michael Behenna who was just sentenced to 25 years
in prison for defending himself against Ali Mansur, a known terrorist, and
member of al Qaeda, who was part of an 2008 attack against Behenna’s
platoon where two soldiers were killed.

Is this another Ramos and Compeon travesty? I think so!! However, you read
the piece, and if you think so and *if you own a blog*, plz post a story
about Behanna and consider putting a widget on your sidebar directing your
readers to the Defend Michael Blog.
No one should go to prison for defending themselves against terrorists! But
even more important is that the *prosecution deliberately withheld
evidence*that would have cleared this soldier! If anyone should go to
prison it's
these crazed career lawyers who would rather withhold pertinent evidence
than to see justice prevail! I am asking you to bring attention to this
travesty! *None of us are safe anymore from predatory lawyers!*
Please let me know what you think and pass this email around to other
bloggers you know.
Thank you, and
Kindest regards,
Tracy
