Widow Testifies at a Military Court

[ShadowHM]

I feel bad for this kid. He should have been playing Xbox with his high school buddies instead of being locked up all these years. It's crazy what a few bad choices can do to you.

I feel bad for him too. I don't think he had much to do with the choices that brought him to Gitmo. He was only 15 when he was in the midst of a firefight wherein he threw a grenade. There was no way his choices brought him there.

Our government let this farce go on by choosing to not ask to have him face our own court system. I doubt that growing up at Gitmo did much to change the attitudes his family indoctrinated in him as they brought him to that firefight.

It is a mess from start to finish. And it ain't over yet.

However, I am glad to know that is isn't just me that thinks that a 'victim impact' statement by a soldier's widow was inappropriate.
