anything else for this witness Thank you Danny Master Washington Excuse me I didn't fire you I apologize I haven't finished my exam sit down Colonel What is that? I would appreciate it if you would dress me as a colonel or a lord. I think I've earned it. The defense attorney will address the witnesses. Colonel or sir. I don't know what kind of unit he runs here. The witness will address this. court as a judge or his lordship, I'm pretty sure I've earned it. have a seat.

What do you want to discuss now? My favorite color. The 6am flight was the first to leave the base. Yes, there was no flight leaving. seven hours earlier and landed at Andrews Air Force Base at 2 a.m. m., Lieutenant, I think we've covered this, haven't we, your honor? These are the tower chief records for both Guantanamo Bay and Andrews Air Force Base. Without registration, there is no flight that left at 11 p.m. m. and the andrews long was not a flight that landed at 2 am I would like to admit them as defense exhibits elf and bravo I do not understand that you are admitting evidence of a flight that never existed well, we believe so, Mr. defense will be calling the aviator cecil o 'malley and airman anthony rodriguez were working with ground crews at andrews at 2 a.m. of 7. your honor these men were not on the list of rebuttal witnesses you are on our call specifically to refute the testimony offered under direct examination I will allow the witnesses this is ridiculous colonel a moment ago review the tower records for the love Good Lord, we'll get to the airmen in just a minute sir.

A moment ago you said that you ordered Lieutenant Kendrick to tell his men that Santiago was not to be touched, that is correct and Lieutenant Kendrick was clear about what he wanted. Crystal. Any chance that Lieutenant Kendrick ignored the order. He ignored the order. Any chance he forgot. Lieutenant Kendrick spoke to the platoon and ordered them not to touch Santiago. There was no chance of them ignoring him. You once served in an infantry unit, son. No lord served in an advanced area. No man put his life in the hands of an

other

man. He asked her to lay down his life. in yours no sir we follow orders son we follow orders or people die it's that simple we are clear yes sir we are clear colonel de cristal I only have one more question before I call airman o'malley and airman rodriguez if you gave an order that Santiago was not to be touched and your orders are always followed so why would Santiago be in danger why would he need to be transferred off base Santiago was a poor marine they were transferring him that's not what you said you said they were transferring him because he I was in grave danger, that's right, you said I was in danger, I said grave danger, you said Israel, remember what I said, yes, the court reporter read it to you, I know what I said, I don't need it read to me like I am two colonel sometimes men take matters into their own hands no sir you made it clear a moment ago that your men never take matters into their own hands your men follow orders or people die then santiago should not have been in any danger in absolute should have done it colonel, you little snotty bastard, you are in our pleasure to ask for a recess i would like to answer the question judge, the court will wait for an answer if lieutenant kendrick gave an order that santiago not be moved then why did he have to be transferred Lieutenant Colonel Kendrick ordered the code red, right? because that's what you told lieutenant kendrick to do.

I'm Jeff, when it all went wrong, you cut these guys off, you lost your honor, you're in, right? ask for the code red you don't have to answer that question I will answer the question you want answers I think I have the right you want answers I want the truth you can't handle the truth son we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns of fire, who will do it? You, Lieutenant Weinberg, have a greater responsibility than you can imagine. He cries for Santiago and curses the marines.

It has that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing. What I know is that Santiago's death, although tragic, probably saved lives and my existence, although grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down, in places that are not talked about at parties, you want me on that wall that you need me on that wall we use words as a code of honor loyalty we use these words as the backbone of a life dedicated to defending something you use them as a joke I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who gets up and sleeps under the mantle of the freedom I provide and then

questions

the way I provide it.

I'd rather you just say thank you and go on your way; Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stay at a post anyway. I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to. Did you ask for code red? I did the work. Did you ask for the code? You're right. I did it, please accept. I suggested that members be dismissed so we can move to an immediate Article 39a session. the witness has rights captain ross jack the members of the tribunal will retire to an anti-room until they receive further instructions what the hell is this colonel? what's going on I did my job I'll do it again I'll get on a plane and move on Back to my base you're not going anywhere God of the colonel MP the colonel yes sir captain ross what the hell is this? you have the right to remain silent any statement they are accusing me of a crime the court-martial trial is that it is or administrative they are accusing me of a crime
