The LA Times<\/a> reports that the Afghan who murdered four French soldiers earlier this year has been sentenced to death by an Afghan court for his blue-on-green attack. The murder influenced France’s new president, Fran\u00e7ois Hollande, to announce the country’s early withdrawal from the fight in Afghanistan. It’s odd because if the murderer had been tried in France, he could have been assured that he wouldn’t be sentenced to death. But apparently, the Afghans think this would have a chilling effect on prospective green-on-blue attackers.<\/p>\n

Of course, “human rights activists” are up in arms about the process of the trial;<\/p>\n

The sentencing, which took place Monday in a military court convened in Kabul’s main prison, drew criticism from human rights groups because of the lack of due process for those accused of capital crimes. A Defense Ministry spokesman, Gen. Zahir Azimy, refused to provide any further details about the case, including whether a date had been set for execution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, let’s talk about the “due process” the murderer allowed for his victims. What I want to know is why is this guy still alive? He killed four people and I’m guessing that none of them were armed otherwise he might have shot one or two before the others gunned him down. And that seems to be the case with all of these shootings. 80 casualties so far this year from green-on-blue attacks.<\/p>\n

While NATO has decided that soldiers working with Afghans can now turn their desks to face the door as a defensive measure, it seems to me that a more common sense preventative action like allowing NATO troops to be armed, locked and loaded, when working with Afghans almost seems like too much common sense to bear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
