made a friendly wager of locally distilled kentucky bourbon with my good friend from kentucky, john yarmuth. and while he thinks i'll be eating crow, i'm pretty sure the wildcats will be eating some cardinal come friday night. with that, madam speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from california, ms. speier, for five minutes. ms. speier: madam speaker, thank you. last week, as the world watched in disbelief, the trial of brigadier general sinclaire concluded much as it began, flawed and unjust. even with the world watching, the military once again demonstrated its outright incompetence at administering justice. brigadier general sinclaire walked out of the court a free man even though he had plead guilty to these charges. he plead guilty to an inappropriate relationships with his accuser, an inappropriate relationship with another female army captain, an inappropriate relationship with a female army major, possessing and displaying pornographic images and videos on his computer in afghanistan.
