Summary: u s soldier unjustly convicted Stjepan Mestrovic is a Professor of Sociology at Texas A&M University and author of "The Good Soldier on Trial: A Sociological Study of Misconduct by the US Military Pertaining to Operation Iron Triangle, Iraq." It deals with the unjust conviction of Pfc. Corey Clagett for killing two unarmed Iraqis and trying to kill a third. Attorney Paul Bergrin was involved. He won the right to have commanding officer, Col. Michael Steele, testify, then was arrested before trial to prevent it because his evidence could have embarrassed and incriminated top officials in the Pentagon, Defense Department, and White House. As a result, Bergrin was targeted, indicted on bogus charges, including orchestrating a murder, and now faces potential life in prison or the death penalty. The latest on his case and two others will be discussed at a time freedom and justice in America are endangered species. ==== mr. lendman and the professor believe that pfc corey clagett and his defense attorney were scapegoated corruptly by the united states army to protect others. "the army knows full well ... that col steele issued that unlawful roe to kill every iraqi military age male on sight - they followed the order." professor mestrovic: " ... to make a long story short, [despite evidence submitted by the rules to show recognized mitigating factors] the clemency board did not offer any clemency. these things just dont matter. it's like ... again, a machine-like system that seems to say, 'well somebody has got to go to jail, for the sake of media relations and public image and other kinds of needs. we have to have this ' and these people are treated like entities instead of human beings with real stories, real life stories."
