Air Force Investigator in Case Against Arabic Speaking Airman Faces Own Criminal Charges
A key investigator in an espionage case against a former interpreter at the Guantanamo Bay prison now faces criminal charges himself, including rape, sodomy and fondling girls, the Air Force said Tuesday.
The accused is a Special Agent with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations stationed at Travis AFB, CA.
For the full story see AP News.
In short this individual has brought great shame upon himself and the U.S. Air Force. It shames me deeply that I am writing about such a tragic event, but it pains me even more to think that he is one of our own. While only a fool could believe that just because we (the military) are held to a higher standard that no assholes slip through the cracks.
Technical Sergeant (Special Agent) Palmosina is accused of the worst kind of crime, rape, molestation, and sodomy of minor children.
I will not beat this one to death as it hurts just to write about it. I can only hope that he gets what he deserves. He will most certainly be stripped of all rank, title and position and face a bad conduct discharge. Hopefully many, many, many years of hard labor will accompany his almost certain punishment. We can all hope that he will get what he so richly deserves.
I believe that a lifetime of painful castrations is too kind a punishment for this type of crime, but the legal system will not allow that. We will have to have faith that justice will be served and he will be dealt the strongest blow if convicted.
I bow in sadness at this tragic event and my heart aches as I think of the victims. I have a wonderful little girl and I can’t imagine why or how anyone could ever do such a vile thing to an innocent child.
Like the incidents at Abu Ghraib, the actions of one or a few are not a reflection on the military as a whole. I still believe that we have the greatest military in the world, and while we may have our bad days there is no doubt that Americas finest are called Airman, Soldiers, Sailors and Marines!
SlagleRock Out!
I agree. If the charges are true, he went beyond what happened at Abu Ghraib and as such if found guilty should be taken to the nearest post and be executed. Preferably outside the United States because the military no longer has the testicular fortitude to serve the death penalty in the penal facilities within the U.S. boundaries.

I still have faith in the system.I agree,we have the greatest military in the world.I also believe that we still have the best judicial system in the world.I believe if he is guilty the evidence will bear that out and that he will be punished accordingly.If not,I believe he will answer to a higher authority.

The thought gives me a warm glow ...
Guard, ushering Palmosina into a cell that has pictures of small children on the walls, and a one-eyed, 400 pound shaved gorilla sitting on a bunk: "Here's your new cell and your cellmate, Billy-Bob Deathrage. Maybe he'll let you rape his kids if you ask him real nice."
