JAG Officers coerced?

From TPM Muckraker:

In the battle over torture and detainee treatment, did the White House engage in some "coercive techniques" of its own -- against top military justice officials?

Earlier, Justin noted the White House's desperation to pass a bill codifying the treatment of detainees.

A few days ago, however, the Pentagon's top military justice officials made that tougher -- by testifying as a group against the legislation the White House has been pushing for.

But this morning, the White House released a terse, two-paragraph letter from the JAG Corps leaders stating qualified support for the White House's legislation. But now some are suggesting that joint statement was coerced.
