Thanks for the tank tel info.

Here is another bit of good news...
This makes three acquittals in three days (Army, Navy and USMC). I recommend some military prosecutors need some front-line combat duty to get a headspace adjustment

Navy SEAL Acquitted of Iraq Prisoner Abuse
Friday, May 27, 2005

SAN DIEGO — A military jury acquitted a Navy SEAL (search) lieutenant Friday of beating an Iraqi prisoner who later died.

Jurors deliberated about three hours before finding Lt. Andrew K. Ledford (search) not guilty of all charges. The 32-year-old SEAL had faced up to 11 years in military prison if he had been convicted of assault, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming an officer and making false statements.

Ledford, who had stood at attention for the verdict's reading, burst into a huge smile and embraced his attorney upon hearing he was acquitted.

"I think that's what makes this country great is that there is a system in place and it works," he said outside court.
