Yet another article about LTC West.

Seems to me there is more emotion than truth driving the petitions.

I don't see how he can remain in the military without a total policy change regarding treatment of POWs and detainees.

If you are correct, he petions for an immediate policy change is in order. He has done what any sane man would do & the policy is wrong-if we are willing to expose our troops to such acts. It may entail flushing the Geneva Conventions & we may be forced to rely upon fear of retaliation to protect out troops when they are captured. We would need to demonstrate that policy. I think it may be a proper path-but i am only a common citizen with no legal experience-not to mention international law.

It's a WAR - guns are going off all around. What next, special monitors to measure how far away every shot is? He didn't kill the hostage, didn't beat him, and in doing so saved American lives. Ltc. West should be commended!
