Biography
Ricky Clousing was an Army interrogator who spoke publicly against the Iraq War after returning from deployment. He left his unit, later surrendered, and was jailed following an unauthorized-absence plea.
The Common Ills report of October 12, 2006 identifies Seattle attorney David Miner as Ricky Clousing’s counsel at the court-martial in which he pleaded guilty to absence without leave rather than desertion. The report was written before sentencing that afternoon.
