<What do you think happened with the My Lai massacre?>

March 16, 1968 - The crime committed. Official army reports of the operation proclaimed a great victory: 128 enemy dead.

March 1968 through September 1969 - the coverup, during which only terrorist sympathizers, people whose minds had been poisoned by reading Chomsky, and other America-haters, believe the slander told about our brave fighting men.

26 November 1969 - The Peers Report (by the U.S. Army) recommended action against dozens of men for rape, murder, or participation in the cover-up. law.umkc.edu

March 1971 - Calley is convicted of pre-meditated murder. His sentence: "To be confined at hard labor for the length of your natural life". He will be the only criminal ever convicted for the murder of 600 civilians at My Lai.

November 1974 - the Secretary of the Army announced that William Calley would be paroled, after serving 3 1/2 years under house arrest. That's right, house arrest, as ordered directly by the President.

Does this meet your definition of justice?
