We are glad for the HEO's cooperation, and we will forgive them any "wear" to our men. However, the HEO makes the point that "loss of human life is still loss of human life." The courtmartial is under the impression, however, that the only loss of life in this crisis were those of PRRP citizens.
Also, it is not simply the intent of Trotsky which makes us question what to do with him. It is instead his utmost devotion to the state. The only thing that he has told us of his intentions was that he would use the weapon to "defend the People against their enemies." Is that the speech of a traitor? I think not. This is what makes the trial so difficult.

Comrade Zhandov, before you can decide an appropriate punishment, before you can even list the appropriate crimes, it is paramount that you discover Gen. Trotsky's intentions. Press him for that information, if you can, and to shed some light on the many mysteries surrounding this case.
Adrien Foucet
Ambassador to the Dominion
Comrade Zhandov, we cannot allow the delusions of one man to take importance over the welfare of the people. This man acted against the rightful government of the PRRP, and threatened the lives of millions. It would be most imprudent to spare his life when he has shown a disregard for the lives of others, no matter how convincing his flag-waving act may be.
