I noticedAug 7th, 2008 - 17:28:58

I noticed that Hitler's driver was not prosecuted for anything. He probably didn't know anything about all the war crimes that the nazis were committing during WWII. This idea is very credible, since most good Germans didn't know anything either, and were totally unaware of the atrocities and war crimes that were occuring then right in their own backyards. These good Germans were not prosecuted, nor should they have felt guilty of anything except being patriotic, and loyal to their Aryan cause. Hitler, practically alone, but at times with a few top henchmen, committed all the countless acts of evil.

Hamdan, on the other hand, was alleged to be in the inner circle of the al qaeda, holding top level jobs like car driver. It is certainly fair and reasonable to expect that his proposed punishment of 30 years in military prison will serve American justice very well. Most Americans have been led to believe that he should be executed for the outrageous war crime of driving his boss's vehicle, and trying to do his job.
A 30 year sentence, instead of a death sentence will demostrate just how
magnanamous, and religiously grounded the Americans really are.
