U.S. refuses `Any Wounded Soldier' mail

"Are we going to forget our soldiers because we are running in fear?" Fena D'Ottavio asked. The suburban Chicago woman was using her blog to encourage friends to send mail to unspecified soldiers until she learned of the ban, which she called a sad commentary on society.

Talk to the folks at Soldier's Angels, They'll get you hooked up.

I keep forgetting to add them to my siteroll. Sigh.

Why Police don't want to be recorded (via Instapundit)

A teenage suspect who secretly recorded his interrogation on an MP3 player has landed a veteran detective in the middle of perjury charges, authorities said Thursday.

Unaware of the recording, Detective Christopher Perino testified in April that the suspect "wasn't questioned" about a shooting in the Bronx, a criminal complaint said. But then the defense confronted the detective with a transcript it said proved he had spent more than an hour unsuccessfully trying to persuade Erik Crespo to confess--at times with vulgar tactics.

The Lying Detective was charged with twelve counts of perjury. I hope they send him to prison for all 84 years and then some, to reflect abuse of position.

Here's the question: How often does this happen where there isn't a recording? How can we trust police when they cover up each other's wrongdoings instead of insisting their fellow officers do the job they were hired to do, in the way they were hired to do it, or get out? This sort of thing does more to undermine the justice system than anything else can possibly do.
