Defense lawyers say Nazario’s prosecution may be the first case in American jurisprudence that the identity of the alleged victims is unknown and unreported by anyone as missing.

Not only that; this may be the first time that a former United States Military Member has been indicted for trial as if he had waged War AGAINST the United States:

From the Grand Jury indictment:

5.       The conduct described in Counts One, Two, and Three of this First Superseding Indictment would have constituted offenses punishable by imprisonment of more than one year if the conduct had been engaged in within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

So to parse it out:

The conduct would have constituted offenses if the conduct had been engaged in within the United States.

No matter how the Supremes or anyone else wants to spin this, these show trials are UNconstitutional!

Ummmmmmm.....wouldn't this apply to any one of our troops who engages in war. It's illegal to wage war within the US and kill "insurgents". This is really an open ended means of going after anyone who serves in our armed forces.
