Military jails hero – but he deserves a parade Exclusive: Pamela Geller decries

prosecution of soldier who killed al-Qaida terrorist WND, July 11, 2012

The Court of Appeals of the Armed Forces has upheld Army Ranger 1st Lt. Michael C. Behenna’s conviction for shooting al-Qaida operative Ali Mansur in Iraq in 2008. As a result, Lt. Behenna will be behind bars until 2023.

This is the latest development, a terrible twist, in an already gross miscarriage of justice. This wonderful soldier killed an Islamic jihad terrorist, a bloody savage who had dedicated his life to waging jihad against the West. Lt. Behenna shot a known al-Qaida killer, Ali Mansur, on the battlefield, a terrorist the Army had actually issued a kill/capture order for before they realized that he was already dead.

The persecution of Lt. Behenna is outrageous. There were many irregularities in Behenna’s trial. I thought he would at least get a fair trial with the new evidence. The criminalization of our heroes is the liberal wet dream and the goal of the enemy, Islamic supremacists. Indeed, they make common cause of their hatred of the good.

There is something horribly wrong in America when a soldier is jailed for killing the enemy. The U.S. military has succumbed
