“US Navy lawyers have advised against hearing a Marine’s appeal on the premise that it would grant attention to an Afghan sex slave scandal. The officer sent a classified memo via his own email to warn fellow Marines of danger, shortly before three were killed.
“In the summer of 2012, Captain Brian Donlon reached out to a fellow Marine Corps officer – Major Jason Brezler, then in the USMC Reserves – to ask about Sarwar Jan, a police chief in Afghanistan’s Helmand province with a reputation for corruption and keeping boys as sex slaves. Brezler answered by sending a dossier on Jan, using his Yahoo email account. Donlon warned him the document was classified, and refused to open it; Brezler reported the violation to the military authorities himself.
“Seventeen days later, on August 10, 2012, Ainuddin Khudairaham – one of Jan’s “servants” – broke into the base gym and shot four Marines, three of them fatally. Meanwhile, Brezler got into trouble for trying to warn his fellow Marines about Jan. A NCIS investigation into the email found classified documents on the computers he voluntarily turned over, and in December 2013, the Marine Corps decided to dismiss him from service. … “

Messages that Julian Assange received from Chelsea Manning (now on a hunger strike in prison) and then posted on WikiLeaks had shed light on Afghan security forces sexual abuse of young boys, but this sad state of affairs found no mention in the “mainstream media,” except for the one chance Ray had to insert it – on CNN, no less. The opportunity came right after Joe Biden branded Assange “a high-tech terrorist,” and CNN was apparently enlisted to “corroborate” that charge – which CNN proceeded to do by enlisting a bunch of “journalists” to show that Biden was right.
Ray was to be the patsy. CNN asked him to try to explain why many of his VIPS colleagues and I could conceivably think Assange not a terrorist, but rather a journalist [I mean, come on already, like REALLY???]. It was all pretty transparent. CNN “journalist” Don Lemon: “So, you really think he is not a terrorist? I want to get that correct. You think he’s a journalist.”

Ray was able to cram the following into the end of the interview:
“Find out why my taxpayer money is going to fund trafficked young boys performing dances in women’s clothing before the Afghan security forces whom we are recruiting to take over after we leave. Take a look at the documents and see the abhorrent activities that our government has endorsed or done to its contractors. And then tell me you don’t think the Americans can handle it. Well I think the Americans can handle it, but they can’t handle it if they don’t have it.”
And, for those of you who might have missed seeing Ray on CNN domestic for over five years (his average before 2010 was one appearance every two years), the following gratuitous comment to CNN, from someone with a sense of humor, may help explain why:

LOL “that’s going to have to be the last word” Ha ha- the last intelligent word.
You’ll not see McGovern on CNN air again. Put an end to that kind of smart talk. Shuffle those papers every time intelligence and honesty is heard…

And so it goes.
