Who manages/engages the military? The government.
Who directly controls the military? The Secretary of Defence.
Who has been/is dictating legal analysis/policy? Gonzales. Who is he? The Whitehouse legal "rep".
On the flip side of the coin there have now been plenty military legal people contesting 'the way it is' - even saying some conduct is illegal - whether military or not, to the extent Gonzales/Whitehouse then backed down after consideration.
Frankly.. on smaller issues, I'm sure anyone would get a fair trail. There are plenty honorable people interested in seeing that happens. On this issue, it's too incestuous and hell knows what may or may not be fair - only very few know anything about this and they are not going to talk. It's somewhat like a corrupt police department doing it's own investigation into problematic officers, but nothing new.
