So, when do you plan your war crime trials? (hint: the principals are all dead!)

Oh, they never happened? Why not? (hint: who lost?)

But, there was exactly one war crime trial for that period? Who was tried?(hint: commanded Confederate POW camp!)


Darn, what a merciful victor! How grateful you should be!

"Darn, what a merciful victor! How grateful you should be!

In the case of Screaming Watie the victors were/are far too merciful :)

since the Judge Advocate General of the US ARMY (YEP, the GENERAL, himself!) admitted in 1999, before the Board for the Correction of Military Records that CPT. Henry Wurtz, MD, late serving officer of the CSA Medical Corps, was :

1. tried by a military tribunal that had NO lawful jurisdiction to try him,

2. on SUBBORNED evidence, which at the time of the courts martial, was KNOWN to be PERJURY.

3.denied the right to call witnesses on his behalf OR to cross-examine the "witnesses" called to testify against him,

4. UNlawfully sentenced to hang, for crimes which he was NOT even PRESENT at the time of (much less guilty of)AND

5.executed (we southerners call it LYNCHED!), after being denied the lawful rights of any other condemned federal/military prisoner (including, that he was NOT allowed to make his confession to a Catholic priest, as REQUIRED by his faith, and was even denied a burial in the local Catholic cemetery!).

i wouldn't mention CPT Wurtz if i were you, as it makes you look either IGNORANT, filled with HATE and/or UNtruthful.
