The article that link points to agrees with my point of view MUCH more so than yours.

Read my posts again.
The punishment doesn't fit the situation, I can't call it a crime.

BTW, that article doesn't have any information about the article 32 other than to say that LTC West is awaiting the outcome.
If you don't have any hard information why are you pretending you do?

so he took a few of his men to the interrogation area to see for himself, where he found the prisoner being questioned by two female officers. They told him the man was belligerent, and wasn't giving them any information. (Surprise, surprise. The idiocy of having women question male Arab prisoners is apparent to everyone except the army commanders.) West entered the room, sat across from the man, drew his pistol, and placed it in his lap. West told him he had come to either get information, or to kill him. The prisoner responded by smiling and saying, "I love you." The interrogation continued, and one of West's troops lost his temper and started slapping the man. West then had his men take the prisoner outside, where he again threatened the man, telling him that he would kill him on the count of five if he didn't tell what he knew. The prisoner refused, and West fired his pistol into the air.

This information is from the Art. 32 hearing. You said he wasn't in the room the facts are that he was.
