I would agree with Colwyn (yes I know we never do!) if both were in a military conflict situation, but that was not the case, the Rigby murder was carried out by civilians deliberately murdering someone on the street, ( don't care what they say about Jihad and they are soldiers and all that nonsense -- they are civilians and British so its premeditated murder) whereas the killing of the Taliban was in a war situation.
So the circumstances are different, both must stand trial, and, where I do agree is the law is the law and must progress through its course, it would be wrong not to -- but why does the Marine get a secret Court Martial whereas the other Murderers get the Old Bailey and all these costs? They should as I have said before
have been tried at a remote County Court as the law allows denying them the publicity they seek!
I don't want top get into the whole Middle East and Islam thing, as I say to people, when you have lived amongst them, been there during their revolutions and conflicts as I have them talk to me about it, if your knowledge is based on journalism and hearsay then don't!
