So this being a 'chestnut' is off limits ? It's a terrorist act all the same, for the women and children and innocent men that were shot and killed.
Calley was sentenced to life imprisonment, however only served 3 1/2 years of HOUSE ARREST. NOT behind bars, NOT in a 8x12 cell, NOT with other hardened criminals, NOT bread and water etc, etc, etc.
He'd said in his trial, corroborated by ~20 of his men, that his superior Capt. Medina, gave the orders to shoot everyone in the village as they were all Vietcong.
Nixon was easy on the guy. Secretary of Defense, Melvin Laird protested Nixon's leniency. At least some of this misjustice should've befallen President Nixon.
On April 1, 1971, only a day after Calley was sentenced, U.S. President Richard Nixon ordered him transferred from Leavenworth prison to house arrest at Fort Benning, pending appeal. This leniency was protested by Melvin Laird, the Secretary of Defense. The prosecutor, Aubrey Daniel wrote, "The greatest tragedy of all will be if political expedience dictates the compromise of such a fundamental moral principle as the inherent unlawfulness of the murder of innocent persons."[12] On August 20, 1971, the convening authority — the Commanding General of Fort Benning — reduced Calley's sentence to 20 years. The Army Court of Military Review affirmed both the conviction and sentence (46 C.M.R. 1131 (1973)). The Secretary of the Army reviewed the sentence and findings and approved both, but in a separate clemency action commuted confinement to ten years. On May 3, 1974, President Nixon notified the Secretary that he had reviewed the case and determined he would take no further action in the matter.

Thank you PM for being a TRUE AMERICAN and not hiding the fact that your Country is no Angel in its dealings with Native Peoples and for putting your Nemisis firmly in his place.
Thank You again, Regards, Danny

It gets a little tricky when you are dealing with conspiracy to comit a crime. A person can be convicted of "conspiriacy" even if the crime is never committed. For example: if you and I make plans to rob a bank and we talk about it, that in itself does equal the crime of conspiracy until the point where one or more person takes somes actions toward the actual crime. So if we just talked about it, but then the next day I on my own went out and staked out the bank or bought a gun, that would be enough to prove a "conspiracy" to commit the crime. It becomes conspiracy as soon as an action is taken, even if nobody ever completes the final crime of robbery (in the case of a bank theft).
In Manson's case he was a party to a conspiracy that was actually played out to the final outcome of murder. To convict him you don't have to place him at the murder scene, you just need reliable testimony that he was a part of the planning of the murder. Manson knows this, he is no dummy even if he continues to want to play like one. Initially Manson was tied to the murders because Susan Atkins talked to another inmate about the murders while in jail. But on that alone they could not have convicted him of the mruders unless Atkins agreed to testify against Manson in court, the the prosection actually considered giving her (one of the murderers) a deal for her testimony . But later the prosecution got lucky and captured Linda Kasabian another family member who went along on night of the Tate murders, but she never killed anyone, I think she just waited in the car. And then before the next night of murders (the Labianca murders) Kasabian fled the family because she wanted no part of Manson anymore. When Kasabian was found and captured, the prosecution made a deal with her not to prosecute her for any crimes (she could have been prosecuted for murder as she was a party to the conspiracy that was completed). With Linda Kasabian's testimony the prosecution was able to prove Manson's involvement in the planning of the Tate and Labianca murders. There where other murders that it was known that Manson planned, but he was never tried because in those nobody was willing to testify agianst Manson.
So what does this have to do with a scenario where Bin Laden might have been tried? A prosecution and conviction of Bin Laden would have included all of his threats and other comments to do terrorist acts, but what would eventually happen is that the state would come up with a witness/witnesses who were present when Bin Laden and others made plans. That is how they would have convicted him.
Thanks for making it crystal Brad, it seems those 5cent bullets have saved a few million that can now be spent on something more worthy than Bin Ladens prosecution then?

Interesting that you used Charles Manson as an example because Manson was in fact convicted of murder for ordering the deaths of 8 people. Not conspiracy to commit murder, but 1st degree murder. So basically all you would have had to do in a trial of Bin Laden would be to present just one person who could say that Bin Laden ordered acts of terrorism and he's in the bag so to speak. But that being if a trial were in a criminal court. The rules for evidence in a military trial are different.
BTW, Charles Manson was convicted of murder and sentenced to die in the California gas chamber. But because of a later California Supreme court decision, every person on death row in Californa, not just Manson, had their sentences commuted to life in prison. That's why he was never executed. It didn't have anything specifically to do with just Manson or his trial.
I stand corrected Brad, i once saw a documentary where it stated that "thats what Mr Manson doesnt understand Conspiracy to Murder carries the same sentance as Murder" so it seems his information was wrong.

All evidence says yes he was in charge of it.
To say otherwise is factually incorrect and requires a gross ignorance of physics and chemistry. I'm sorry, but that's the absolute truth. There's no arguing it
Hold on there Tiger, all WHAT evidence? an addmision on tape can be recinded anytime, he admits it on tape and denies it in court, he pleads the 5th, if you cant do Manson for Murder you cant do Bin Laden for Terrorism, but you might have done him for Conspiracy to Commit Terrorism, because nowhere have i seen evidence that HE actually pulled the trigger or planted a bomb, have you seen any evidence? Glad he's gone though, your boys did one hell of a good job.

How anyone could not celebrate this man's death is beyond me.
I'm sorry, but it's not akin to some mean Joe schmo who died next door. This man mrudered 3,000 people. Bout time we knocked his face out.
Hi 'wanna be drummer'
I'm not sure you could prove that in a court of law, and maybe thats why he was taken out.

Two years after being retrenched I was offered a position from my previous employer.
For the past eight months of being bored shitless and spending way too much time online, I am back in the workforce.
I hope to start next Monday week, after the obligatory medical, etc.

Spelling Nazis are everywhere
No worruies Brad, we all make mistokes when it cums to spolling,
But surely Jimmys mistake was in not giving credit to what both he and Robert "Borrowed" from? no theft at all as nothing can be judged as being missing, Fraud maybe but not Theft, just my view you understand?

Nobody is ever accused of being a thief until somebody makes some money off of a thing. I don't see the Black Muntain Side thing as a good example of being a thief. Now the Beach Boys complete rip off of Chuck Berry while he was in jail was like stealing his car out of his own driveway. But some of this other stuff was just the blending of musical ideas and styles by artists who were evolving themselves.
Hi Brad,
If Jimmy had called it " Black Muntain Side " then maybe there wouldnt have been an issue dont you think?

Hotplant, is that kinda talk allowed? you had better check the rules before you insult me like that again, I wouldnt want your banning on my concience.

Danny, again pointless. You have absolutely NO proof other than some lame wiki links. A wise man uses wiki for reference, a moron uses it for fact. History? That was not your statement Danny...You are constantly backtracking. You issues was Why did America fund IRA terrorists. For some reason, you want to ignore a factual statement. They did not. You have issues my friend far beyond my capabilities I must admit.
Former POTUS Bill Clinton in 2000 makes huge progress for peace in Northern Ireland. This is a fact Danny, and it's before 9/11.
Its over between us, I'm sick of your Ignorance and I do not wish to debate with you any more, YOU GOT IT?

THAT is a RACIST word and is not allowed per board rules. Again danny is using Racism. It offends me and my dear Native American friends.
YOU are not funny. I know you think you are though.
WHAT? Washington Redskins are using a Racist Name, if anyone is TROLLING its you Hotplant, i've been watching you forsome time now and all your contributing to any topic is shit stirring, what do you think Admin will say to than then?
Regards, Danny
PS, You need to look in the mirror before you start to point the finger, you and a few others, all my posts are informative or funny if I insult someone it personal to them NEVER to a RACE, so I'll have an appology or I'll report you for SLANDER.

Funding from the IRA came from all over the globe. It's very feasible US citizens did send funding. You cannot blame a government or a country as a whole for a few. This is a completely irrelevant debate as you can literally point the finger at anyone and make a strong case. Now, saying the US (Government) knowingly funded IRA terrorists up until 9/11 and then stopped is an interesting observation made by a small minded group of people who cannot see past there own face. You cannot hold an entire nation responsible for a small few with political/emotional ties back in there homeland...You don't think American Muslims send monies back home? IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH?
Mr Zoso, I dont hold your country guilty alone, I thought I made that crystal clear a few posts ago, as I told Steve, you need to brush up on your History if you are going to debate me because I know what I am talking about, I have also spoken to people from both sides of the fence and I have a lot of sympathy for both sides.
But if you want to circle the wagons and deny your country contributed to the troubles that is your perogative and your IGNORANCE of a very complicated matter, which is in all probability beyond you to understand. IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH? GUILTY AS CHARGER
I dont think, I know Muslims send money back home,here they do the same and call it a Religious Tax but I know much of it goes to Terrorist Activities, same as Money Collected in the USA which is destined for the IRA, you may not like it but that is how it is, there is blood on many hands whether you like it, admit it or agree with it, its a bloddy mess and we are all to blame in some way or other.
12% of Americas population is from Irish stock, 36 million in total, the best thing they could do is keep their noses out of what is an Irish problem, let the Irish sort it out, and if the North wants to stay with England then thats their perogative isnt it? its what you guys fought a civil war over isnt it?

One could but the difference is whom shall control North America has been decided. This is not the case in Northern Ireland.
Steve I told you to brush up on your British History, I should have said Irish History as well, that there will be a Northern and Southern Ireland was decieded in 1921 when a pease settlement was signed by both sides.
Now when are the Redskins gonna get their land back?

[quote name='SteveAJones' timestamp='1305543828' post='517767']
Dan, my point was moral and financial support to achieve political change is neither a mandate for terrorism nor does it equate to terrorism. You make it sound like Irish Americans are laundering money, shipping arms and rigging elections in Ireland. OBL was a terrorist because he sought to achieve political change in Saudi Arabia (overthrow the Saudi royal family) primarily through terrorism (murdering Americans, etc.).
For anyone who wants to know or cares, the majority population in Northern Ireland is not native Irish - they're descendants of Scottish Presbyterians deliberately put there to have exactly the effect that they have had and will continue to have. Consequently they represent the majority political opinion, which is pro-Union (with Great Britain). People in Northern Ireland do not want to unite with the south because of money, plain and simple. Sterling is far superior to the Euro at the moment and buildings, cars and taxes and medical care is also far superior in northern Ireland due to NHS and other well renowned medical services which are non existent in the south. I see little evidence to suggest those living in the south are opposed to a united Ireland, in fact I submit this is why there is a conflict.
-
So I'm to understand Irish Americans, the United States government & their security forces (?) are to blame in part for the troubles? Dan, the origins of the troubles date back to the 16th century - the United States didn't even exist! It's undoubtedly true some Irish Americans have provided moral and financial support to boths sides of the political conflict, but that neither mandates nor equates to terrorism. Blame for the terrorist tactics that have been employed should be placed squarely where it belongs - on the people who engage in it. Northern Ireland is a failed political entity requiring change and the sooner both sides accept that the better for everyone.
Hi Steve,
As you are Self Appointed Attorney for the Defence I put it to you then that Osama Bin Laden, if you put the same criteria to him would not be classed as a Terrorist, because he only supplied Money, Procured Arms, Provided the Perpertrators with the means of commiting Terrorist Attrocities, as far as I know he himself commited no terrorist attack against anyone but the USSR in Afghinistan,but neither you or I would want to do that would we?
I agree with you that the People who engager in those attrocities should be totally held responsable for their actions, but those who supplied Money, Weapons and Oppotunity and shielded those that partook in those attrocities must share some of it as well, that includes the Catholic and Protestant Population of Northern Ireland, the Catholic Population of Southern Ireland and the rest of the UK, the British Government, the US Government and some of its Security Forces and the Irish American Catholics who collected and gave money to the cause.
For anyone who wants to know or cares, neither Southern Ireland as well as the Northern Irish want, as they have been asked in a Referendum for Ireland to be United as one country, that was the democratic voice of both the South and the North, just in case anyone was under the wrong impression.
Regards, Danny
