#2 The decision was made by military judge Lt Col Kwasi Hawks

Sounds like your typical ~~DoD PC authority figure~~ Army JAJ, patriotic Iowa farm lad handle, etc.

#5 Staff Judge Advocate.

Say g(r)om....when are those French Fockers and their "no fly zone" feckless, kinetic revenge colleagues going to come to YOUR aid in combating the decades of bombings, murder, and genocide of Israeli citizens by the Paleo goons, Humus, and others? What about your "human rights?" Where is the OUTRAGE?

#7 This guy should have hung for what he did. But he was smart enough to drop the dime first on his colleagues. He should name his first child Barak.

#8 Kwasi Hawks was a colleague of mine back when he was a just a little captain. Good dude. Yes, he's black, and it's totally irrelevant. If you're looking for a military judge who's an incompetent, biased snake in the grass who can always be counted on to make the wrong decision, and be an asshole about it, Col. John Head is the name that should make you recoil.

#9 The hell with the judge's name, it's the defendant's that blows my mind. Seriously, he's a fucking Morlock? I don't think J. Haji Afghani is anyone's idea of an Eloi, but I suppose we ought to be grateful Jeremy didn't eat his victims...

#10 I think we can turn down the PC filters on this one. no pandering here... except to justice. Morlocks indeed.

#12 You'd think the hashish would have mellowed him out but I guess if you're a psychopath it doesn't matter.

#13 Love the non-coverage of this by the mainstream media. I would think that the NYT would have this on the front page for weeks and weeks./sarc.
