Just heard FNsunday. I do agree with Britt Hume that to move things along as far as peace goes in Iraq there will be amnesty. Who gets it and who doesn't maybe up for debate but some form will be necessary to bring the country together.

Will that drive some of us who have lost loved ones there crazy, maybe,and rightly so. But there is no other good situation unless you want to be fighting for the next 20 years.

Only Democrats and Old Media want to make this an issue or obsess over it.

Almost every war ends with amnesty of one sort or another, even our own Civil War. At least it does with non-communist nations or dictators.

I would guess Iraq will not give it to those who were involved with civilian deaths but otherwise something will be worked out. Probably an Iraqi military tribunal holding officers and bad offenders held accountable while the troops are allowed to go home if they swear to forsake the old cause and pledge allegiance to the new government.

In a way, one could even equate a soldier surrendering as a form of amnesty if the capturer does not kill him. All I'm saying is this is not a major issue at the moment when other things are more important. If this happens, and fair being fair for all, perhaps the USA should give amnesty to all US military once it's over.
