Could this only happen in England?

We have currently a huge challenge to the validity of our two political parties and what appear to be Career Politicians with dubious integrity. Here is something which is really quite saddening - Could you Americans ever imagine putting your own soldiers in prison, whilst confirmed terrorists against whom they had been deployed were entirely immune to prosecution because they had been written “Comfort letters” 20 plus years ago by a Politician ?

Would your country allow this disgrace ?
