Enraging, Annoying: Navy SEALs Trial Moved to Iraq. . . .

According to rushlimbaugh.com:

This is going to annoy you and anger you as much as it did me. "A Navy SEAL accused in the mistreatment of an Iraqi detainee will be tried in a U.S. military court in Iraq. A military judge in Virginia on Monday set the court-martial of Petty Officer 2nd Class Jonathan Keefe for April 6 at Camp Victory, site of the alleged abuse. Keefe and another SEAL are accused of trying to cover up after a third SEAL allegedly punched an Iraqi suspected --" Suspected? This is one of the Al-Qaeda leaders, one of the terrorist leaders. They gave him a bloody lip and all of this is happening because of that. "Prosecutors said they would not bring the detainee to Norfolk to testify. The judge ruled Keefe has the right to face his accuser and moved his trial. Keefe is from Yorktown, Va."

Now, we have a proudly confessed mass murdering terrorist, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed getting a $200 million-a-year civilian trial in New York City, but we cannot have a man brought from Iraq so that these preposterously accused Navy SEALs can confront his terrorist accuser. What is wrong with our judicial system? I know this is the military judicial system we're talking about here, but, for crying out loud, it's one of these things that makes you think everything's upside down or turned 180 degrees out of phase.
