Best interests?

by JP Bill May 28, 2006 1:22PM PDT

''The best interests of 2nd Lt. Pantano and the government have been served by this process,'' the Marine Corps said in a statement

Prosecutors said Pantano, 33, intended to make an example of the men by shooting them 60 times and hanging a sign over their bodies -- ''No better friend, no worse enemy,'' a Marine slogan. Pantano did not deny hanging the sign or shooting the men repeatedly.

The hearing officer recommended Pantano face nonjudicial punishment for allegedly desecrating the bodies by reloading and repeatedly shooting them. But the commanding general decided Pantano should face no punishment for any of his actions.
