Im going to take your questions quickly from the back. First of all is it your expectation this will be concluded this year . Secondly, on the b. I. T. Did i understand you correctly to say that you would hope and expect that the b. I. T. Will be completed and ratifyied before the end of the Obama Administration .

It did not conduct a dna test. An italian hostage, geovonna lo porto was killed in that same operation. President obama takes full responsibility for the drone strike that killed the two hostages and he expressed sympathy to their families. As a husband and as a father i cannot begin to imagine the anguish that the weinstein and lo porto families are enduring today. I realize there are no words that can ever equal their loss.

Which is exactly how and why mr. Brelo was acquitted. So joey one thing that the judge pointed out, is that causation was a real problem in this case. And it appears that thats one of the things that that led to his decision of not guilty on both counts. He did indeed joe. You know its interesting, though whenever a judge acts as a finder of fact in addition to a concluder of law, the judge of course is placed in a position as a jury would be placed in.
