CHICAGO - Julio Huertas, a Navy Seal from Blue Island Illinois, has been cleared by a military jury of failing to prevent the beating of an Iraq prisoner suspected of masterminding a 2004 attack that killed four American security contractors.
The burning death of the contractors became a major turning point in the Iraq war. There bodies were dragged through the streeets of Fallujah and two were hanged from a bridge over the Euphrates River.

That’s good news.
Now, for the bad. WGN should fire all journalists who don’t know the difference between “their” and “there.”
Go easy on WGN, they hire the handicapped.
They only recruit MORONS ;-)
Must have been a disappointment for the
lefty military lawyers who have been promoting
these prosecutions.
It is clear that a Democrat who joins the military
finds a very safe berth.
I spent many years in the military and I will maintain to my dying day that given the choice between placing my fate in the hands of a civilian judge and jury or placing by fate in the hands of a military court martial, I’ll take the court martial every time.
Military prosecutors are ordered to prosecute. And once so ordered, they try to carry out their orders to the very best of their ability. So yes, they did their best to convict the SEAL. To do less would be unthinkable. But at the end of the day the court weighed the evidence and came back with a non-guilty verdict. Justice was served.
My guess is that the copy-editors are so busy looking for examples of political incorrect terminology that they’re slack when it comes to their main job - catching any grammatical problems that might be there.
(And just in case they need some help, I made sure to put all three in the sentence so they can see how it’s done!)
(And don’t get me started on “it’s” and “its”)
WGN is a Tribune company. AKA the Lib-une.
Big time lefties.
Also the Tribune Company is bankrupt.
WILMINGTON, Del., April 19 (Reuters) - Tribune Co agreed to have a court-appointed examiner investigate its 2007 leveraged buyout to determine if deal left the media company insolvent, according to court documents filed on Monday.
The publisher of the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune reached an agreement with its creditors to appoint an examiner who will be selected by the U.S. Trustee, a government representative who oversees bankruptcies.
I would rather be water-boarded than what the terrorists do to their prisoners.

Proofreaders and editors, too.
Me too. But remember - Thyme weights four know won.
Now, I'm wondering if the Prosecution will drop the charges against the other two and cut their losses?
sw
"Then" and "than" bug me.
Yeahbut...
...can you tell the difference between “theirs” and “the IRS”?
If you are a white male, you need to have a harelip and speech impediment to work at WGN. Same as WBBM Radio, they hire black female militants and guys with major speech impediments. Stunning.
Good news!!!!!!!!!
I saw this news this morning & it really made my day!!!
