I'll be surprised if it happens. The prosecutor of this case is a close personal friend of Bush . His actions in this case indicates that he is protecting drug dealers and smugglers rather than acting in the interest of this country. This seems to be the direction the whole Bush administration is going. Some of the drug cartel money must be getting through to people in high places.

Doing their jobs DURING WARTIME. We killed 100,000 Japanese civilians in Tokyo in a single night in May 1945. Can you imagine the pilots being brought up on murder charges by FDR or his SecDef Stimson? The Haditha case brings up how fatally weak we have become as a result of 40 years of Liberal decay.

We are also talking about a President who is looking forward to cushy consulting gigs from Mexican government and companies after he leaves office. Why jeopardize millions in earnings over two puny security guards?
