All rise.
1:12:56
Be seated.
1:13:01
Look closely
at this picture.
1:13:05
Why did a well-trained
fighting unit...
1:13:07
have to slaughter unarmed
men, women and children...
1:13:10
when their orders
were simply to protect...
1:13:12
and if necessary,
evacuate the embassy?
1:13:17
The answer is,
they didn't.
1:13:19
They were ordered to open fire,
and that order came from one man...
1:13:23
Colonel Terry Childers,
1:13:25
who stands trial
here today,
1:13:27
a day of sadness,
1:13:30
a day when America has
to accept responsibility...
1:13:33
for its failures and its
mistakes as well as its glories.
1:13:40
We will show you that the accused,
through his mind-set and actions,
1:13:44
ignored the rules
of engagement...
1:13:46
and went far beyond
the scope of his authority...
1:13:49
to intentionally order
the murder...
1:13:51
of 83 innocent people.
