Bummer, they should have thrown the book at him. I was amazed when he
did his interview on NBC's morning show. He claimed everyone did
something wrong but him! When they asked him what he should have done
different he said, "I should have turned after the first helicopter
told me to"!! How about "I should have planned better and not flown
into the ADIZ", that would have been nice. When you're caught red
handed, don't blame everyone else. Confess, say you're sorry and take
your lumps.

From an ethical standpoint, I agree with you. However, from a
practical standpoint, he did get his 'sentence' reduced, so how he
blamed everyone else was the right thing to do. Welcome to America.
It's disappointing, isn't it?
