some war crime apologists

What war crime? There was an accusation of a war crime, followed by a trial, followed (in this particular case) by an acquittal. That's how we do things here in the civilized world.

WHOA! Let's back up,here! He MAY have been charged with comitting a war crime according to the internal laws on Canada,but he didn't commit a war crime according to international law,and as far as I know he wasn't accused of comitting a war crime. I suspect he was charged with something like the Canadian version of "Conduct unbecoming a soldier",or "Acts contrary to good order and disclipline". People can project that into a war crime if they want,but that doesn't make it so.
