I googled the name, and found some info about him. He definitely seems to be one of the better political contenders in the US. The attacks on him due to the controversial decision he made regarding that Iraqi police officer I cannot understand, and thus do not join. IMO the story is another thing speaking out in favour of the man - not against him.
