I give you that for free except when you’re buying the beer.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it shouldn’t be that surprising. There aren’t too many well-heeled oxen getting gored when CAAF has a bad day. Nobody’s flag gets burned; no school prayers omitted; no endangered spotted woodrats get their dens bulldozed; no pro golfers have to get out of their carts. You know, the important stuff.<BR/><BR/>Not that criminal law and procedure questions of the sort CAAF deals with aren’t capable of generating high-level interest out there in the rest of lawyerdom. If Rodriguez-Rivera had been held in Guantanamo instead of Leavenworth, there might have been some outcry this term when he was convicted on hearsay and denied appellate review until he served a 12-year sentence to the minimum release date. He might even have had access to some of the high-powered firms that seem to have found a certain selective sexiness in combatants being held without due process. It’s too bad for Rodriguez-Rivera that he was our combatant, not the enemy’s. He was stuck with me at least through CCA. I’m pretty sure no one was listening.<BR/><BR/>Of course I’m not sure that added attention would necessarily improve our system. Seems like most of our “improvements” aren’t really helpful. I still haven’t figured out to do with unsuccessfully challenged members. And has anyone read the new Article 120 that goes into effect next fiscal year? Anyone that makes it all the way through that monstrosity will be ready for a couple more decades of benign neglect.Marcus Fultonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070796580668712006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34853720.post-1164434765294412392006-11-25T01:06:00.000-05:002006-11-25T01:06:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Marcus Fultonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070796580668712006noreply@blogger.com
