So in other words, the miscreants skated because the jury disagreed with U.S. foreign policy. The libs love this kind of stuff.

Just like with the presumption of innocence and the demand that the state prove the guilt of a defendant "beyond a reasonable doubt," the greater good is nevertheless served by applying the principle, even if it means that in a few cases, a guilty man may walk free.
