Some good news in the court martial of US 1st Lt. Ehren Watada for his refusal to accept deployment to Iraq on the basis that the war was, and is, illegal. According to the Honolulu Advertiser the government has dropped two of the charges and will not enforce subpoenas issued to two journalists.
Lt. Watada's defence has already been denied the right to argue that the war is illegal previously and is likely to be convicted on some or all of the remaining counts.
We have to hope that subsequent appeals will exonerate him.
