100% pure grade a bullshit
You know, it is reading nonsense like this that really make me start to question what kind of place our country has turned into. If this Marine, Sgt. Jose Nazario, committed a crime, he should and would be reactivated, sent to a court martial or military tribunal, appropriately tried, and punished or not as either of those two entities decided. The fact that this "Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act" seems to give civilian courts jurisdiction over military members and their actions during war... That is just scary to the extreme. As if the military was not having enough problems already, now soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines are going to worry about how their actions might be perceived and possibly prosecuted when they get home. And, when you get right down to it, what the hell is a civilian court doing trying a military member for military actions executed while on active duty in a military campaign? Does anyone else see a problem with this? Anywise, The Victorious Opposition, Blonde Sagacity, and Hennessy's View have more information about this case, as well a link to the defense fund for Sgt. Jose Nazario and the other Marines involved.

This is crap. There is no way on earth we will stand for this. Are you aware of this site: Defend the Defenders?
It was established to by Illario Pantano's Mom when he was wrongly charged by a scuflaw. He eventually was found INNOCENT, but not without a great cost. This was done by our own US Military.
I'll be damned if I sit back and watch it happen to any of our men or women while I'm alive. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for linking us! I added your site to our blogroll.
Thanks for pointing out that site, Rosemary. I agree - this situation is unconscionable.
Thanks for the link, Thrill... hopefully the publicity you and the other sites have been giving to this situation will help solve it.
