Sergeant Haarer, testifying via telephone, said he thought it was "a little odd" that his boss, Lt. Cmdr. Douglas R. Velvel, the legal adviser to the Special Operations commanding general in Afghanistan who was advocating filing the murder charges, asked him to sign legal documents as the official accuser. It's even worse than I thought. Velvel was acting under Kearney's orders, and they were trying to distance themselves from the charge. About a classic a case of "Command Influence" as we will ever see. Now, more than ever, Kearney needs to be retired as a Colonel.
