FORT BLISS, Texas — A military intelligence soldier pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges he abused detainees in Afghanistan, and he asked to be tried by a military jury.

Army Pfc. Damien M. Corsetti, of the 519th Military Intelligence Battalion at Fort Bragg, N.C., is accused of hitting and sitting on detainees and threatening to sexually assault them.

His civilian lawyer, William E. Cassara, said the charges against Corsetti hinge on the word of an accused terrorist, Ahmed al-Darbi, who is being held at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

"Mr. al-Darbi is making up these allegations to use the American justice system against the American military ... as stated in (the al-Qaida) training manual," Cassara said after the hearing. "My client is stone-cold innocent."

Stupidest MFers on the planet.

Only 10 of the detainees at Guantanamo have been charged with a crime. But of course to rightwingnuts anyone in Gitmo = accused (charged) terrorist. Even those men the US military & US judge & bush admin admit are INNOCENT and were rounded up & detained BY MISTAKE. Yet gee, 3+ years later, still they sit in Gitmo.

Rightwingnuts; stupidest & most immoral MFers on the planet.

Yes, they certainly are. Even more so when they get desperate. Come November, we start to reclaim our country.
