Although the Sharon case got alot of the attention, there were several other state sponsored serial killers that also obtained the benefits of this decision. As one of Kerry's ex war criminals, I see value in commanding officers and politicians fearing being in the dock in front of an unbiased war crimes tribrunal. Helps temper the extremes of combat. All soldiers have the right to refuse a criminal order. Maybe we should make it easier to do so?
