'He made reasonable judgements' - Kristen Slough

A federal judge in Washington has given prison sentences to four Blackwater security guards for their roles in a 2007 shooting in Baghdad that killed 14 civilians and wounded 17 others.

Nicholas Slatten was sentenced to life in prison. Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty and Paul Slough were given 30 years each - all former members of the US Military.

Kristen Slough, the wife of Paul Slough, has played a major role in the campaign supporting the four men, and says her husband made "reasonable judgements based on extensive training and experience".

"He certainly wished things happened differently," she told Mishal Husain. "But he has not once told me that he thinks he made a wrong decision."
