Lt. Col. Steve Butler was relieved of his duties as vice chancellor for student affairs at the Defense Language Institute pending an investigation into his letter, which was published in the Monterey County Herald on May 26, a military spokesman said. "Of course Bush knew about the impending attacks on America," Butler's letter said. "He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism. His daddy had Saddam [Hussein] and he needed Osama [bin Laden]. "His presidency was going nowhere. He wasn't elected by the American people, but placed into the Oval Office by the conservative Supreme Court... . The economy was sliding into the usual Republican pits and he needed something to hang his presidency on," Butler wrote. Butler, a 24-year Air Force veteran who served as a combat pilot during the 1990 Persian Gulf war, was not available for comment. His wife, Shelly Butler, told the Herald yesterday that the military had given her husband "a lot of grief" over the letter and reassigned him to temporary duty at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, Calif. She said he planned to retire in several weeks. Butler's suspension was apparently based on Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which says that any commissioned officer who uses "contemptuous words" against the president or other senior officials may be punished by a court-martial. The maximum punishment under Article 88 is dismissal, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for one year. ------------------------ Yahoo!
