Well, Here's The Sentence!
No jail. None.
A military jury has recommended that an officer once facing up to life in prison for the interrogation death of an Iraqi general be given only a reprimand, a decision that drew applause from soldiers.Initially charged with murder, Chief Warrant Officer Lewis Welshofer Jr. now faces no jail time, the forfeiture of $6,000 in salary and what amounts largely to a barracks restriction for 60 days.

My disgust and loathing at the actions of these people have reached previously unimagined depths.
Can we resign from this race of inhuman beings and join a race of Humane Beings?
