Well... he got off with 10 years. I for one am outraged. The maximum sentence was 15 years- still too little, but instead of giving him even that they gave him a below maximum term? I don't believe it. If I, as a private citizen, were to do what he did, I would be sentenced to more than 15 years for say 15 counts of assault and battery, sexual assault and other charges. But he, as a soldier, gets less than this? Oh, and lets just throw out the fact that he actually (in my mind) "undermined" the war by giving us bad press. If I were a right-wing nut job I would call that treason.
Now, I admit that this guy is being used as a scapegoat. That does not undermine what he did. Further, it shows that more action needs to be taken against the perpetrators of this crime against humanity. Since he was considered by the army to be a member of a group of "rouge" guards, then they should all be prosecuted. I don't really believe this nonsense, because I feel that this action was obviously allowed by senior members, and also was probably condoned and egged on by senior members. At the least, these senior members are guilty of criminal negligence.
I can't believe that we stand by and let these people get away with giving substance to our reputation as a bigoted country that violates the rights of Muslims.
