The US Department of Defense has admitted that a senior official did have contact with a former American soldier facing torture charges.

But the Department says it rejected Jack Idema's offer to work for them in Afghanistan, where he is under arrest.

A Pentagon official said its Acting Director of Security, Heather Anderson, had spoken to Jack Idema this year.
...
If they had rebuffed him, he asked, why did they keep taking his phone calls?

1. Agents know that when they're caught, the Pentagon will deny everything

SOP. And I have no sympathy for him.

Swiftboat Veterans for Bush - TRUE!!!

JFK - Drop Bush Not Bombs! - FUCK BUSH

2. They contract mercs to do dirty work in IRQ and AFG and...

they want us to believe they didn't work with these guys?

Did they not go thru the proper hiring agency or something?

3. Because

There, that's all you need to know.

Everything is classified, super double triple probation ultra-top secret.

4. Expect an under the table deal eventually

Assuming they did hire him, the U.S. military or CIA will probably try to spring him after a while, i.e. make a deal after the sentencing. It is true that they deny accountability, but I would think they would want to send some reassurance to the "mercenary community", that they will be looked after. Isn't that what Falluja was all about?
