THE WHOLE STORY.
Current mood: determined

THE APPREHENSION AND THE SCENE OF THE KILLING OF “HASHIM AWAD”

This is from the autopsy report of the Hamdania incident, which was NOT allowed into evidence in this murder trial, the pathology report, and the Census Reports performed by Kilo Company.

And, YES, that’s correct, the autopsy report was not allowed into trial!

In the Census reports, each Squad Leader gives a detail of who they encountered as personnel in the Iraqi cities and villages as needed. This information is then used as intelligence, both in assessing the nature of the community and its needs, but also in war intelligence against Iraqi insurgents. These reports are also used to provide detail in how suspected insurgents are approached and a short description of actions taken against those who show hostile intent.

In these reports, whenever a squad approaches a house, one of the main thrusts described in entering the house is to secure the area surrounding the house itself and especially, THE ROOF of the house. Each time an entry is made, it is always assumed, and rightly so, that there may be persons of hostile intent inside who would fire upon the Marines. Also, one well known Military axiom is to control the ‘high ground’ of a situation, for it allows observation of the surrounding area and allows for greater command and control of all units in place and those who may be needed for support.

Sgt. Evan Vela, U.S. Army

By Major Bill Donahue, USMC -RET | Saturday, May 24th, 2008

One of our most recently accepted cases is that of (former) Sgt Evan Vela, US Army.

Sgt Evan Vela, an Army Sniper, was charged and convicted of “killing” an Iraqi “civilian” who was threatening to expose them and their “hide”. Now, Sgt Evan Vela has been convicted and sentenced to 15 years in Ft Leavenworth Kansas.

But the story does not end there. Where is the media on this one? They are AWOL (absent without leave)

Sgt Evan Vela’s command in Alaska (where his home unit is based) stone walled moving his young wife and two children from Alaska to Kansas. She is living on pennies folks. PENNYS... and with a 10 month old infant and a four year old toddler.

My organization started putting pressure on Sgt Evan Vela’s command just recently and, finally, they are have finally paid for Evan Vela’ wife and kids t0 relocate. But it took outside pressure from my organization to get this ball rolling. Alyssa and her children are now settled in Kansas where she has just visited her husband for the first time since his conviction.

Now, Sgt Evan Vela is appealing his conviction. The grounds for his appeal are very strong indeed.

But where will he get the $25,000.00+ money for his appeal? Certainly not from the government. And his government JAG-appointed attorneys are dysfunctional at best.

His ONLY hope for a successful appeal lies with his civilian attorney, Timothy Litka.

But who is stepping forward to help this Army enlisted volunteer? And who is going to help his wife feed his kids…all pay and allowances have been stopped!

Only the American people, who pull a couple of bucks from their pockets. The American people, it would seem, simply do not give a rat’s ass about Sgt Evan Vela or any of the more than 28u+ other such cases my organization is involved with. (This is NOT a plug for my organization). I am just stating the facts.

If every American were to send only 5 bucks to such organizations as ours, we could mount a full and adequate defense for all young Americans that our government is trying to burn for political reasons. Just $ 5.00 from each adult American! But just the labor of getting the world out (via email or any other means) is a monumental task in and of itself. We eagerly forward emails on just about any other subject, to include jokes etc. But emails about supporting our troops during the most dire time in their young lives? Forget it. (continue reading…)
