EVERYONE WHO REALLY SUPPORTS AMERICAN SOLDIERS

The life of a true American warrior is on the line, Captain Carl Bjork U.S. Army Infantry Officer, my former platoon leader in Iraq, and my brother and friend for eternity, tomorrow morning begins the defense for his life in an American military courtroom in Baghdad for a crime he did not commit.

The U.S. Army has wrongly charged Carl with premeditated double murder committed during our 2006-2007 deployment to Hit, AlAnbar Province, Iraq.

This ludicrous charge is based off of the supposed eye-witness testimony of 3 detained Iraqi insurgents.

For 3 yrs the Army has been investigating Carl and the only evidence of this "crime" the prosecution is bringing to trial is the testimony of these 3 arrested terrorists, THE ONLY EVIDENCE!!!!

This is how our military supports its truly honorable veterans. Carl embodied everything an Army Infantry Officer should be. He tactically led my platoon by example on every mission, supported the interests of his soldiers in the politics of an infantry battalion, and appreciated the dangerous and hard work we did for him, for the work we did for the average Iraqi citizen, and for the work we did for our country-despite that work ever being known and most times not appreciated.

As a world traveler with an ever itching curiosity in foreign cultures Carl ALWAYS confronted the local Iraqi population with the utmost respect and reverence, accepting their customs and defending them against the common ignorant held prejudices of the average American.

My respect and admiration for Islam and the people of the Middle East was greatly influenced by the open-mindedness and human compassion displayed by my Leader and Friend Carl Bjork.

Despite fighting in one of the bloodiest battlegrounds, in the most violent province( Al Anbar was touted as being "LOST" by our wonderful left-wing media as we started our deployment)of Iraq, Carl never wavered in being a thoughtful, caring, humane human being.

HE DID NOT COMMIT THIS CRIME!!!

Please pass Carl's horrible and shameful situation on to everyone you know! PLEASE contact your local media outlets to bring the deserved media attention Carl's situation calls for!

PLEASE contact your local congressmen and woman and demand to know why our country holds the testimony of 3 TERRORISTS to a higher regard than that of a highly decorated and exceptional Army Officer and Human Being and the testimonies of his soldiers and fellow officers!!!!!!!

PLEASE HELP SAVE AN AMERICAN SOLDIERS LIFE...

More info on Carl’s Accusers

Posted on February 12th, 2010

TUSR has followed this case since its inception, and, based on available facts, we have openly advocated for redress for the captain. Bjork will face trial on murder charges. Bjork’s sister Erica sums the situation up: “[C]arl was sent back to the States and was told that he was under investigation for a double murder that occurred during his 2006-2007 deployment in Hit, Al Anbar Province, Iraq. His accusers, who are the only witnesses/evidence in this alleged crime, are four disgraced former Iraqi police who are imprisoned for the murder of two Iraqi civilians – believed to be Iraqi al queda.[sic]”

According to Erica, the captain was not present at the alleged murder—“He simply trained the Iraqi police as part of his duty.”

Not much is really known, apart from that. We do know those who grew up with or fought with Bjork hold him in the highest regard. A Facebook group formed to support Bjork has grown to 7, 983 members.

Bjork’s primary accuser is a man named Col. Ibrahim Hamid Jaza. Yon unravels events in Iraq that caused Jaza to morph from hero to villain. Yon describes Jaza’s contributions to eliminating AQI (al Qaeda Iraq) from the region and he offers an interesting aside—AQI, said Yon, “beheaded Hamid’s son on a soccer field in the center of Hit in 2005.”
