A judge in Washington state has granted an emergency stay to postpone the second court-martial of First Lieutenant Ehren Watada, which was slated to begin on Tuesday. Watada was the first U.S. Army officer to refuse to fight in the Iraq War. His first court-martial ended in a mistrial. Watada’s lawyers argue that a second court-martial would amount to trying him twice for the same charges.
