Defector Returns to the U.S.

Reuters is carrying an interesting piece about an army sergeant that defected 40 years ago and has just come back to the U.S. He defector to North Korea, but eventually moved to Japan and turned himself into U.S. and spent 25 days in a military prison. Unfortunately, the article waits until the second page to tell you that he did server his penalty. On the one hand, I look at this and say that he's done what a court stated was just punishment and should be allowed to reunite with his family. On the other hand, he was a traitor, which is punishable by death.
