Last week, radio blowhard Michael Savage once again took up the case of a military person he said was wrongly accused of a crime.

In this case, it was Army 1st Lt. Michael Behenna, who was convicted of killing a suspected al queda member who Behenna believed was behind an IED attack on a patrol he was leading. The attack killed several soldiers and others.

Savage had Behenna’s mother on to talk about her son’s case, and the evidence she said would clear him that was not allowed to be introduced at his trial. Savage said that he would ask his listeners to send money to the Behenna legal defense fund, which had alreadybeen establishedd.

He said that he didn’t want anything to do with the money, he didn’t want to touch it. He said a link would be provided directly to the Behenna defense fund.

But now it appears that Savage has changed his mind. As of tonight, the link on Savage’s site reads, “Support Michael Behenna through the Savage Legal Fund.

In fact, there isn’t even a link to the Behenna site on Savage’s. Nothing. A letter from Behenna’s mother appears under a “Savage nation” banner, and when you click on the PayPal link to donate, there is nowhere to indicate that the money is supposed to be earmarked for the Behenna fund.

Which makes me wonder why the change was made? Savage could easily have linked to the Web site dedicated to Behenna’s defense, or even to the donationn page that is linked to from the main Behennaa page.

Why, Savage, did you change your mind about “touching” the money your listeners send in for Behenna? Don’t you think they deserve an explanation on the site?

And how are you keeping track of who’s donating money to your “legal defense fund,” and that of Behenna? Where’s the accountability, Savage?

Michael Savage and accountability. Oil and water.

Keep the faith.
