The media doesn't seem to discuss the prosecution of Sgt. Akbar's murder of American soldiers with nearly the same zeal as they are promoting this story.

Court-Martial Of Sgt. Hasan Akbar Delayed (August 25, 2004)

A Fort Bragg judge has postponed the trial of an Army sergeant accused of attacking his unit on the eve of the invasion of Iraq.

The delay was granted Tuesday to give Sgt. Hasan Akbar's lawyers more time to develop an insanity defense.

The judge, Col. Stephen R. Henley, postponed the court-martial from Oct. 25 to Feb. 15.

"I agree some additional time is needed to develop an insanity defense," he said during the hearing, which lasted about an hour and 10 minutes.

The trial date will come almost two years after the March 23, 2003, grenade attack at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait that left two officers dead and 14 soldiers wounded.

Akbar, a combat engineer who was with the 101st Airborne Division at the time of the attacks, is charged with two counts of premeditated murder and three counts of attempted premeditated murder. He faces death if convicted.

Its interesting how the MSM cover up the disemboweling of a women and look the other way as truck drivers get their heads sawed off by these scum mussies and then whine when a Marine takes out a jihad combatant!

I think we need to ban all MSM from the front lines, obviously they are there to give aid and comfort to the beheading jihadists!
