A Little Bit Of History

Once upon a time, military tribunals were considered acceptable for some crimes.

On this day in 1865, a military tribunal convicted seven men and a woman involved in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Four of the eight were later hanged by the U.S. Army at the Washington Navy Yard.

On the other hand, today they are not considered to be good enough for jihadis captured in the field while violating the Geneva Convention's rules for combatants.

And remember -- these folks were all US citizens apprehended, held, tried and executed withing the continental United States.

Thanks for the reminder, Michael -- and I loved your book.
