US Officer Jailed for Iraq Looting
http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=4583065

A US military judge today sentenced an Air Force officer to one year in prison and dismissed him from service for illegally shipping a small arsenal of automatic weapons and hundreds of other war souvenirs home from Iraq.

Major Gregory McMillion showed no emotion as Colonel Ronald Gregory imposed the sentence in the judge-only court-martial at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.

Afterwards, McMillion, 44, and a group of supporters formed a circle and said a prayer. He was taken into custody before reporters could ask him questions.

The judge also convicted the maintenance officer of charges of failing to turn over captured or abandoned property and conduct unbecoming an officer.

1. So, does that mean the Chimperor will be prosecuted
because he's got Saddam's pistol as a souvenir?

I didn't think so.
