'They're trying to cover up these war crimes...'
'They're trying to cover up these war crimes and use my nephew as expendable.' -- Bill Lawson, uncle of Staff Sgt. Ivan Frederick

"President Bush just said he wants to see all the soldiers punished," Lawson declared. "The president just broke the law. That's great."

Yesterday, Ivan "Red" Frederick and his ex-wife, JoAnn, guided by Lawson, a man with 20 years in the military and a tour of Vietnam on his resume, told their story to all who would listen. Their son, they say, attempted to warn his Army superiors that Iraqi prisoners were being mistreated. The Army, they say, is now trying to deflect blame onto him.

"They're trying to cover up these war crimes and use my nephew as expendable. I'm not going to allow that," Lawson said.

Guess what Lawson...they don't give a shit about you and your opinion. The machine will run over you and your nephew and not even look back.
