US Navy Lt. Commander Charles Swift — the JAG lawyer for Salim Hamdan who was told to "negotiate a guilty plea" and instead acted ethically on behalf of his client — was passed over for promotion and will soon be separated from the service.
Meanwhile the president is being permitted to continue kidnap and torture alleged enemies of the United States. In fact his powers have actually been extended to include not just those who actually take up arms or plan violence US, he can also kidnap and torture those who support terrorists in any way. (The administration announced today that they had arrested some nut job in California who called for the overthrow of the American government.)
Ethical behavior is punished while sadistic behavior appears to be protected. Bush should grow himself a little mustache.
