Here is mine to the AmeriKan media and government.
"A man who killed one Arkansas soldier and wounded another - an act he called retribution for the deaths of Muslims abroad - took an unexpected plea deal yesterday that abruptly ended his murder trial and spared him the death penalty....
Why would the government even offer him a deal, hmmm?

"West Memphis 3 freed after 18 years" August 20, 2011|New York Times
JONESBORO, Ark. - After nearly two decades in prison for the murder of three young boys, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr., known as the West Memphis Three, stood up in a courtroom here yesterday, proclaimed their innocence even as they pleaded guilty and, minutes later, walked out as free men.
The freeing of Echols, 36, was the highest-profile release of a death row inmate in recent memory. Baldwin, 34, and Misskelley, 36, had been serving life.
Under the terms of a deal their lawyers reached with prosecutors, Judge David Laser vacated the convictions and ordered a new trial, something the prosecutors agreed to if the men would enter Alford guilty pleas. These pleas allow people to maintain their innocence and admit frankly that they are pleading guilty because they consider it in their best interest.
In May 1993 the nude, mutilated bodies of three 8-year-old boys, Christopher Byers, Stevie Branch, and Michael Moore, were found in a drainage canal in West Memphis, Ark.
The nature of the murders, coming in the midst of a panic about satanic cults, led West Memphis police to focus on Echols, who wore all black and considered himself a Wiccan. The inquiry led to Misskelley, an acquaintance of Echols’s with an IQ in the low 70s.
After a nearly 12-hour police interrogation, Misskelley confessed to the murders and implicated Echols and Baldwin, though his confession diverged in significant details. Misskelley later recanted, but he was convicted in February 1994.
Echols and Baldwin were convicted in another trial. Over the years, appeals failed, but the case got new life in 2007 when a test of DNA evidence at the crime scene found no genetic material belonging to the men....

Now that is something worth proper salutations.
