I thought Woods and Doherty were civilian contractors for the CIA not the DoD!?! I’ve never heard for certain but that’s the last I heard some time ago.
“We do know that in 2007, after criticism and incidents involving private military contractors in Iraq, the Uniform Code of Military Justice (“UCMJ”) was amended to bring private military contractors within the purview of UCMJ. Accordingly, private military contractors, like Doherty and Woods, could be charged with war crimes and prosecuted in US federal courts for any wrong doing committed while operating in Libya as private contractors.”
This article was written by people who knew Glen Doherty pretty well.
