But don't get me, or my argument twisted. I am not defending him from being tried for the crimes for which he is accused. Hell no!
He is accused of killing and wounding a bunch of people ... He should be tried for that. Does the fact that these people were soldiers matter? Does the fact that he is an Islamist matter? I don't really know, but I hope not, though it appears at the root of many of those arguing.
My defense is rooting in my refusal to sit back and watch some butt chapped "Judge" trample on someone's Constitutional rights, even under these F'd up circumstances.
And face it ... this is all about a pissing match where one side is relying on legitimate/organizational authority and the other side is protected by the U.S. Constitution.
