Posner: Taliban trying to addict US soldiers to heroin

Retired Air Force Col. Moe Davis served as the Director of the Air Force Judiciary during the prosecutions of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. As the lead prosecutor, he witnessed the face of terrorism first-hand and when he saw the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol he spoke up.

Responding to Rep. Madison Cawthorn's (R-NC) photos and videos inciting right-wing insurrectionists, Davis said that the incoming House Republican shows more evidence of guilt than the Gitmo prisoners.

If Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had moved forward with impeachment after the House voted to approve the measure, he likely wouldn't have as much incriminating information as is available now.

Since the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, an increased amount of information has become available about the communications shared by the extremists. Many were promoting President Donald Trump's language and citing it as the motivation behind their actions.

On Monday, in an interview with CNN reporter Barbara Starr, Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy offered details on the political pressure from the Trump administration to punish retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the national security official who gave testimony at outgoing President Donald Trump's first impeachment.

McCarthy stated that "we never took Col. Vindman's name off the promotion list, in the leadup to, ultimately, his retirement," and that while there was never any cause to investigate him, "They kept coming up with information, but it was no specifics, related to actions that he took, that would be conduct unbecoming of an officer. So, there was no need for an investigation."
