Now I could be mistaken for thinking this was a debate over the death penalty....?

Accepting the fact that there is a death sentence in existence, why should this guy be let off the hook and other people who commit similar crimes be sentenced to death....? What makes this crime any different...?[/quote:3392a]

I agree. Moreover, although I'm not familiar with US military law, wasn't he supposed to be executed for this type of crime? Has been him a civilian, he may have been spared, but in time of war, I don't think so.
