Lt. Colonel Lakin Convicted on All Charges

It was clear from the outset that military authorities were determined to convict this heroic man of conscience.  We have no doubt that the day will come when his decision to challenge the legitimacy of this President will be vindicated.  We are reminded of a quote by the great Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen:  "Right is right if nobody is right, and wrong is wrong if everybody is wrong. "  Colonel Lakin will be proven to have been right, when the world was wrong.

From Fox News
A military jury has convicted an Army doctor who disobeyed orders to deploy to Afghanistan because he questions President Obama's eligibility for office.

The jury on Wednesday found Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin of Greeley, Colo., guilty of missing a flight that would have gotten him to Fort Campbell, Ky., for his eventual deployment. He was convicted of a charge of missing movement by design.

His attorney had argued that he should be convicted of a lesser charge.

Lakin had already pleaded guilty to another charge against him. All told, he now faces up to three and a half years in prison.
