No, because greater issues of policy are involved, but I'd appreciate him as a man who'd followed his conscience at a great personal price and I'd admire him for that. I guess invidividual conscience doesn't always take precedence, after all. I'd regard him as a misguided follower of a deeply misogynistic and backwards system. I'd throw the book at him to send the clear message that we don't allow this crap in America.

So you'd appreciate and admire a man who would kill his own daughter, therefore depriving her of basic human rights, yet still prosecute him for murder? So I guess I have to ask if you appreciate and admire those soldiers who committed those abuses in Abu Ghraib, based upon their following their conscience and belief systems?
