In addition, he faces three attempted murder counts ? one for each tent he allegedly hit with a grenade ? arising from the wounding of 18 others, in a field camp at 1 a.m. local time March 23. Not that it will make any difference, but shouldn't this ahole be charged with as many counts of murder as men he injured and killed? He wasn't attacking the tents.

It won't be over until the press plays the race and religion cards.

I think I went to school with this lawyer. Good guy, hope he's kept his common sense.

Unfortunately, it appears he's on the wrong team for this go-round. I think they're assigned the cases, though, so not as bad a deal.

I heard he will either hang or be shot by firing squad.

Unbelievable. We're turning into a nation of wusses. Murder of a superior officer in the field during wartime has always meant summary execution. This waste of protoplasm should have been executed that night.
To: LibWhacker
Let me offer that he will be convicted of two counts of murder and will be given a death sentence. The sentence will be reduced to life imprisonment in the name of international understanding. What they should do with this bastard is tie him to a chair, sit him in a tent and keep on tossing grenades into it until the proper sentence is carried out. I hope that race and religion won't be a factor in this case, but I fear that it will. Timothy McVeigh got what he deserved, Eric Rudolph probably will get the same, so what makes this rat any different?
To: LibWhacker
Absolutely. There are very clear guidelines for this, and it would have sent a clear message to all concerned. It would have been an incredible boon to morale as well.
To: Radix
The fact that this worthless bastard is still alive, is a bad sign...
Caught "red-handed" as he was --- should have resulted in his immediate execution....ON THE SPOT..
I fear he will escape execution...as will the dozens of murderers at GITMO....
For however long terrorists see they can excape death -- they will continue to press forward with their murderous "jihad".....
To end "jihad"....kill them, kill them quickly and kill them in great numbers...

They should have impaled him at dawn in front of his unit.

The ancient tradition of "drawing and quartering" seems a good fit for this crime. However, before it's over the press will have declared him the victim and the DNC will be running him for President.

"How long before Johnnie Cockroach Cochran, JJ and, Rev. Al get involved? Were they stupid enough to attempt to save this worthless, POS -- it would set back "race relations" another 100 years...
This country is already too close to uncivil war to push the envelope....
