I almost felt bad for Czaplak. He looked as if he was about to cry. He said nothing. He knew what was happening. He looked at the prosecutors’ table for help, but all they could do was nod. It was true. While Czaplak had been cross-examining General Abbas, Tim received an e-mail with Judge Rugh’s ruling on our motion to have Czaplak kicked off the case. He had officially been booted for the spying caper.
