This week, a
national disgrace occurred. This is, in
fact, a stain on the American military.
The highest military appeals court has upheld Army Ranger 1st Lt. Michael Behenna’s conviction
for the so called premeditated murder of a detainee and al-Qaeda-operative in
Iraq named Ali Mansur. While Michael still could receive clemency, his legal
appeals are now over with this latest ruling. Without clemency, Michael will
remain at Leavenworth military prison until 2024.
Since Michael
was convicted by a Kangaroo military court in 2009, the national media has
essentially ignored this case. Michael’s
mother Vicki, has made appearances on his behalf in local media markets of
their home state of Oklahoma. She has
also gone on a few national radio talk shows.
In 2010, I was honored to have her as a guest on my show where she
discussed Michael’s case in detail. That
interview is included with this clip.
I would
encourage you to visit www.defendmichael.com
to read further details surrounding this case.
I encourage you to donate to Michael’s legal fund and to inquire about
future plans to help get Michael clemency so that he could be released. I also
encourage you to send Michael a letter of encouragement and support at the
address below.
