  1. David #McBride has finally been freed. The only person punished as a result of war crimes in #Afghanistan (so far) has been the man who blew the whistle on them #auspol

    (Please, no comment on pending cases)

  2. Il caso di David McBride ha dei casi simili.

    John Kiriakou, ad esempio, ha rivelato pubblicamente l'esistenza e l'uso di tecniche di interrogatorio che equivalgono a tortura, tra cui il waterboarding (simulazione dell'annegamento), da parte della CIA. È stato il primo ex ufficiale dell’agenzia a rivelarlo. È finito in carcere, ha perso il lavoro e anche il diritto alla pensione. Dovrà lavorare fino alla morte per potersi sostenere.

  3. Nel 2017, le rivelazioni di McBride portarono alla diffusione degli "Afghan Files". Partì un'inchiesta ufficiale (il Rapporto Brereton) confermando "informazioni credibili" su 23 episodi in cui erano stati uccisi 39 civili afghani.

    McBride ha pagato un prezzo altissimo: ha perso il lavoro e la libertà nella “democratica” Australia.

  4. David McBride è in carcere in Australia per aver rivelato la verità su crimini di guerra commessi da soldati australiani in Afghanistan, tra il 2005 e il 2016.

    Come ex avvocato militare, McBride prestò giuramento di servire l'Australia e il suo popolo. E ha scelto di onorare la propria coscienza invece di mantenere l’omertà sui crimini di guerra. È stato condannato per aver rivelato documenti militari coperti da vincoli di riservatezza.

  6. The number two prosecutor in the US attorney’s office for the eastern district of Virginia has been fired,
    ⭐️the latest in a series of dismissals in an office that is leading controversial criminal prosecutions of James #Comey and Letitia #James.

    #Robert #McBride, a former federal prosecutor in Kentucky, was brought in late last year
    to serve as the deputy to Lindsey Halligan, a Trump ally who the president installed as the acting US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia in September.
    🔥McBride was dismissed after declining to lead the Comey prosecution -- which a judge threw out in November after ruling Halligan was unlawfully appointed, one of the people said.
    (The justice department is appealing the ruling.)

    McBride refused to take on important cases in the district, another person familiar with the matter said,
    and had met privately with judges in the district with the goal of being appointed himself to the top prosecutor job.
    The person said top justice department officials supported McBride’s firing.

  7. #Australia
    Il prossimo 9 ottobre, l'Alta Corte deciderà se a #McBride sarà concesso un permesso speciale per appellarsi alla sua condanna. L'esito dell'appello dell'Alta Corte si riverbererà ben oltre lo stesso McBride. Modellerà il futuro delle forze armate e la condotta dei soldati australiani.
    La domanda al centro del caso è semplice:
    “Ci sono circostanze in cui un soldato può legalmente disobbedire agli ordini del suo superiore?”
    Secondo l'attuale legge australiana, la risposta è no.

  9. @knittingknots2 #McBride has the patience of a saint! She didn’t take the bait, and instead, did her job for the people of her state!

  10. Rep.-elect #Sarah #McBride (D-Del.),
    the first #transgender person elected to Congress,
    said Sunday that House Republicans’ #bathroom #ban is an “attempt to distract from what they are actually doing.”

    “Every single time, every single time we hear them say the word ‘trans,’ look what they’re doing with their right hand,” she continued.

    Earlier this week, Rep. #Nancy #Mace (R-S.C.) introduced a bill aimed at prohibiting transgender people from facilities on Capitol Hill that match their gender identity.

    House Speaker #Mike #Johnson (R-La.) later announced a new policy barring transgender people from using Capitol bathrooms matching their gender identity.

    “All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” Johnson said previously.

    “It is important to note that each member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol.”

    McBride said Sunday that she has “had conversations with colleagues in the Democratic caucus already that
    — that span diversity of thought about how the party should engage on a whole host of issues.”

    “But I think we are all united that every single American deserves equal rights.

    I think we are all united that attempts to attack a vulnerable community are not only mean-spirited, but really an attempt to misdirect,” she added.

  11. @wdlindsy
    It is ILLEGAL to pass a law that targets ONE PARTICULAR PERSON.

    Hateful #Republican SAY they want to ban ALL #Trans people from using the bathroom that doesn't match their *birth* gender.

    But HOW do they KNOW if the person going in is Trans? They only know #McBride is Trans b/c she TOLD them. But anyone ELSE? They can't possibly know (short of stopping & inspecting the genitals of everyone going in) and thus is a law/rule/policy targeting ONE individual. 🤬 #Hateful #bigots
