Justice?
: You will remember that Iraqi blogger Zeyad‘s cousin was killed, allegedly at the hands of American soldiers. One of the soldiers put on trial in the case was just convicted of assault — forcing the Iraqi men into cold water at gunpoint — but acquitted of manslaughter because the defense said there was not proof that the man died. I do not know the details of the case but I have to say that doesn’t smell great and if the sentence is light, it’s not going to help. Glenn Reynolds’ background posts here.
