I am not saying that the military is evil, Art.

the issue for me was the fact that the judge ruled that neither the "Nuremberg excuse" nor the US Consitution could be mentioned in the court case.

I see this is the sort of creeping castration of the courts that is giving more power to big government, and taking away the normal checks and balances to power that should exist in a democracy. It also legislates away an important principle of international law.

Wilfried's post has it wrapped up.
