Uniform Code of Military Jusrtice.

Unsurprisingly, given Greenwald's opinion of the Bush Administration, this topic has come up before.

Interesting. However, it should be noted that in the clip (and link) posted he is specifically referred to as "Attorney Glen Greenwald", not "former attorney." His salon.com bio does correctly say he is a former lawyer.

This might not seem like a big thing to most people, but the legal profession protects their home turf pretty strongly. When I moved from one state to another, the new state told me that I couldn't refer to myself as an "attorney" until I passed the bar, despite the fact that I was licensed in another state. Doing so could constitute the unauthorized practice of law.

To his credit, Mr. Greenwald has obviously taken steps to clarify this. Democracynow obviously hasn't.

I believe even as part of the UCMJ you can still take the 5th.

However, I'm not 100% sure.

And give up your constitutional rights, some are returned in the UCMJ like your Article 31 prohibition against self incrimination (5A). Most are not, it's the way the cookie crumbles.

Basically don't screw up in the military. You might get out of one issue but land in another issue.
