Whoops. Asleep at the wheel.

It still is poohbear_nc's question. I've got no clue on it.

This man was executed for a specific reason - the only soldier executed for this reason during the Civil War. At the time, it was deemed an "unthinkable" offense, and deeply shocked (and titillated) the nation.

Hint: the reason is now, unfortunately, all too familiar to modern warfare.

Since I seem to have stumped the group:

Henry Wirz holds the dubious distinction of being executed for war crimes, specifically for the mis-treatment of Union prisoners at Andersonville Prison at Camp Sumter, where an estimated 13,000 prisoners died.

I can't remember which part, though.

Yep! The Isles Of Langerhan are the regions of the pancreas that contain its endocrine cells. You're up, Shayne!
