Last night, in Gun Nuts chat, Borepatch posted a link to this story. In a nutshell, an American soldier has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for defending himself against an al Qaeda terrorist, mainly due to some chicanery on the part of the prosecution insofar as withholding evidence.
There's a defense fund set up for the appeal. There's also a petition to sign for a new trial. Read the whole story, and decide for yourself if Lt. Behenna has received a fair trial or not.
Pass it on, please - the more attention we can bring to this story, the more likely it will reach a fair and just resolution.
That is all.

I hate to say it, but this is the reason we will never win in Iraq or Afghanistan. The Government is now prosecuting soldiers for killing our enemies. (at taxpayer expense, I might add) Do your job and you go to prison.
Un-f*cking-believable.
