6. Are you seriously suggesting the defense attorney is lying or doesn't know where his client is?

If his current location was 'secret' then the defense attorney would be enjoined from telling you his whereabouts. But he's not.

He's in Leavenworth. When and if he's moved, if his attorney thinks it's relevant for the Internets to know, then I'm sure he will spill.

Otherwise, the military is under no obligation to let anyone outside of counsel or family know the particulars of pre-trial prisoner movements.
