SEX, VIOLENCE, AND MILITARY JUSTICE
By Joanne Mariner
Human rights attorney Joanne Mariner focuses on ironic recent events relating to U.S. military justice. In particular, she points out that while officials culpable in the deaths and torture of detainees in U.S. custody remain unpunished, the military is cracking down on soldiers who engaged in consensual gay sex that was shown on the Internet. Drawing on a recent Human Rights First report, she details horrific abuses of those in U.S. custody in Iraq and Afghanistan -- abuses that remain unpunished or underpunished, with the longest sentence for a torture-related death, a mere five months in jail. In contrast, the soldiers in the gay sex video face five years in jail.
