Lt. Col. William H. “Lockhart” Steele thought he had it made. He was a top commander at one the US’s fastest-growing Iraqi prisons, he was making fast friends with the prisoners, and he had a way with the ladies. Then those desk jockeys in Washington put the hammer down.
He was also accused of illegally storing and marking classified information, disobeying orders relating to his possession of pornography, dereliction of duty regarding government funds and conduct unbecoming of an officer for fraternizing with the daughter of a detainee since 2005 and for maintaining “an inappropriate relationship” with an interpreter in 2005 and 2006.
He sounds like the ideal soldier! Upholding the example set forth on day one by the Coalition Provisional Authority with regard to documents, money, and the locals, Steele thought he’d be promoted to Colonel in no time. But you give one lousy “unmonitored cellular phone” to a detainee at the prison that once held Saddam Hussein, and suddenly you’re faced with a death sentence for “aiding the enemy.”
Meanwhile, Islamist-sympathizing basketball-watching moonbat leftists march in lockstep behind Harry Reid waving white flags, and no one’s allowed to even shoot ‘em.
