Betrayal is an ugly thing and Sites knows that is just what he did. And it's very public and it is there for the world to see. He betrayed that young Marine into a courts-martial and he betrayed all the Marines to Al Jazeera.

I hadn't heard that the military was going to court martial him - I thought they were still investigating the shooting. Is this a new development?
