These men were being shot at in a war zone. Most (if not all) were former US soldiers with honorable service.
The initial chrges were thrown out, but a fedral appeal court revived it and brough them to trial.
the Judge, when face d woith over 100 honorable MAericans showing up to speak in their defense, indicated he was moved by their support.
He then said it was clear to him that “these fine young men just panicked.”
So how do you translate someone who is under fire in a war zone and panics to pre-meditated murder?
No, this was more of Holder’s DOJ going out of its way to throw the book at former US soldiers, hired by the State Department to protect diplomats, who were involved in “Bush’s War,” in Iraq and make an example of them.
This is Holder executing Obama’s directive and clear feeling that anything traditional American is the culprit in the world and needs to be “punished.”
In reality, there was no example, IMHO, to be made, if US interests, and the reality of the situation were takne into account..
If my memory serves me correctly this is the same judge that tossed aside all challenges to the eligibility of Obama to be POTUSA. The guy has been bought and trained to be a kisser for Obama and such ilk. He is deserving of the ‘Mussolini’ treatment.
