52. But the burden of proof shifts to a militay defendant to prove that an

order is not lawful.

You and I can exchange an unlimited number of "reasonable scholars believe" pro or con quotations, but I believe in this case, a passive, do-nothing congress gave AWOL a bill "To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq".

I don't like it, but it seems to let AWOL off the hook.
