San Diego radio talk show host and blogger Rick Amato suggests there is a record number of American soldiers incarcerated in Iraq and Afghanistan for "just doing their job" and that they each deserve a fair hearing. Amato writes:

Amato lists two soldiers now serving time at Fort Leavenworth who he thinks are among many who have not received a fair trial for their alleged war crimes: PFC Corey, featured on Betty Kilbride's radio show, and 1st Lt. Michael Behenna, who was supported in this letter to Defense Sec. Robert Gates from two members of Congress.
