Smallman discusses on . Among other concerns, he mentions that the strong national interest inherent in military cases may help overcome judicial reluctance and give the public an opportunity to evaluate for itself how some of its tax dollars have been spent overseas during the past two years and who should be held accountable.

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. (AP) - The Army sergeant accused of masterminding a plan to kill Afghan civilians for sport and goading other soldiers to do the same appeared at a military hearing Tuesday to determine whether there is enough evidence to court- martial him. In what has emerged as one of the most gruesome cases of the Afghan war, fellow soldiers say Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs also threatened them, collected fingers of the dead and found it amusing to slaughter animals with his assault rifle.
In most cases, the initiating commander or a superior commander may set aside Article 15 proceedings in favor of court-martial proceedings or proceed to courtmartial after completing the Article 15,9 while the accused must accept the result of me proceedings, but for a limited right of appeal to the next higher commander. 10 The hearing itself occurs between the commander and the accused, sometimes in person and sometimes through the exchange of paperwork.11 The accused may request, and the commander may opt, to make the proceedings semi-public by opening the Article 15 hearing to otìier individuals.12 While the UCMJ does not specify a burden of proof in the Article 1 5 hearing, a broad consensus exists in the military legal community that the commander should apply the criminal "beyond...
A major story of 2007 was the progressive unravelling of the case against the seven Marines and one Navy corpsman charged in connection with the Nov. 19, 2005 killings of Iraqi civilians in Haditha during a day of intense military action. To date, charges against four of the men have been dismissed altogether. Two men have been ordered to a court martial. Two cases are pending. What a difference a year has made since charges came down at the end of 2006. The New York Times in October mourned - I mean, noted - the shift: "Last year, when accounts of the killings of 24 Iraqis in Haditha by a group of Marines came to light, it seemed that the Iraq war had produced its defining atrocity, just as the conflict in Vietnam had spawned the My Lai massacre a generation ago.

Under the automatic replacement system, currently in use throughout the U.S. Army, the convening authority selects a standing court-martial panel that hears cases over a set period of time, for example six months.3 The panel consists of primary and alternate members. Criticism of the military's justice system is not new and can be especially harsh when military procedure diverges from civilian practice.8 When the U.S. Congress enacted the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)9 in 1951, it required the President to prescribe rules of procedure and evidence at courts-martial, which shall, so far as he considers practicable, apply the principles of law and the rules of evidence generally recognized in the trial of criminal cases in the U.S. district courts, but which may not be contrary...
Errol Morris has probably made his most artful documentary yet with the Abu Ghraib inquiry "Standard Operating Procedure." As is usually the case with the director of "The Fog of War" and "The Thin Blue Line," it leaves you wondering if artful and documentary should really go together. Morris has bitten off more than one big theme here. Not only does he obsessively chronicle the abuse of Iraqi detainees in the infamous prison by U.S. personnel, but the film asks us to question basic concepts about visual evidence. Hundreds of the photos taken by the guards of themselves and their stress-positioned, stripped, terrorized and degraded captives are creatively arranged and conscientiously examined throughout the movie. Morris even brings in Brent Pack, the military's criminal investigator wh...
