#1 If others think he wouldn't get a fair trial, there's no reason not to give him the maximum sentence. Let them decide whether they stand a better chance copping a plea or taking a chance on a fair trial. The bottom line is that they are guilty and should be shot.

#5 "He and his attorneys knew he could not receive a fair trial, so Hicks pleaded guilty," said Marine Lt. Col. Colby Vokey, the lawyer for Omar Khadr, a Canadian detainee who is expected to face charges before the commission.

Is it a prerequisite that all Marine JAGs have to be douchebags?
And...is your guy gonna cop?

Omar is accused of lobbing the hand grenade that killed Sergeant First Class Christopher Speer, a 28-year-old medic with the U.S. Special Forces.
"That wasn't a panicky teen-ager we encountered that day," Sergeant First Class Layne Morris of South Jordan, Utah, who lost his right eye in the ambush, told the Boston Globe last month. "That was a trained al-Qaida who wanted to make his last act on earth the killing of an American."

Speer left behind a wife and two children, ages 3 and 11 months. Just days before his murder, Speer had selflessly walked into a minefield to rescue two wounded Afghan children.

Hope ya sleep good at night, Lt. Col...
