The exceptions, not the rule
Michelle Malkin

This news from earlier this week makes me sick and heartsick:

A U.S. soldier faces up to 100 years in prison for the gang rape and murder of an Iraqi girl and the killing of her family last year.

Sgt. Paul E. Cortez, 24, also was given a dishonorable discharge. He will be eligible for parole in 10 years under the terms of his plea agreement....

There are no excuses for these evil acts. The perpetrators are damnable. Our military has done right by prosecuting them to the fullest extent of the law. Ultimate judgement of the soldiers who participated will come from a higher authority. Personally, I hope they spend the rest of their natural lives praying for forgiveness--or rot in hell.

Anti-war zealots who don't give a damn about either the troops or the Iraqi people will use this case to convict the entire U.S. military and redouble their calls for retreat. Resist it. Condemn and punish the exceptions to the rule. Recall 2LT Mark Daily's rallying words. And appeal for courage. If you truly "support the troops," don't exploit the vile sins of the few to smear the honor of the vast majority. ...
