More on Lt. Pantano
Posted by Raven on April 28th, 2005
Cao has an excellent post up about Lt. Pantano. After yesterday’s hearing, I no longer need to reserve any judgement. I believe he is totally innocent. Sgt. Coburn had an ax to grind…and he is doing so via this entire
story.
But according to Lance Cpl. Jason Gillian, Sgt. Coburn told him a different story that same day back at base camp.
“Best I recall, Sgt. Coburn told me that they came under attack while assisting another platoon,” Cpl. Gillian told the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. “I think he said they were taking sniper fire from a house or a building. Sgt. Coburn said Lt. Pantano and one of the corpsman assaulted the house where the sniper fire was coming from. I think Sgt. Coburn told me he saw Lt. Pantano kick the door in and shoot two insurgents. Sgt. Coburn said the insurgents’ weapons were away from them. Sgt. Coburn then told me he … hated Lt. Pantano and said he did not think the lieutenant should be here anymore.”
Let’s hope this doesn’t go to CM.

The guy obviously sensed danger and acted on survival instincts. We are at war, and he did what any good soilder would do! My prayers are with him.

I’m really glad you believe he’s innocent. At the risk of violating comment etiquette, please excuse this link. I think you’ll find it interesting.

Bloggers helped the defense of Pantano. Just one more way that blogs as a whole continue to make a difference. =)
And again, please excuse my ’spam’. It won’t happen again. ;)
