For some reason these lyrics are in my brain as I keep considering & raging & thinking about the murders in Haditha.
All the Federales say, they could've had him any day
They only let him go so long, out of kindness I suppose
& today in the WaPo we have this. What the hell were they doing during their training, for christ's sake? Learning how to kill them some Ayerabs, I suppose.
Even before the final report is delivered, Army Gen. George W. Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, today ordered that all U.S. and allied troops in Iraq undergo new "core values" training in how to operate professionally and humanely. Not only will leaders discuss how to treat civilians under the rules of engagement, but small units also will be ordered to go through training scenarios to gauge their understanding of those rules.
The training, to include slide-shows, would highlight ''the importance of adhering to legal, moral and ethical standards on the battlefield,'' said Lt. Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli, Multi-National Corps-Iraq commander in a statement today. "As military professionals," he said, "it is important that we take time to reflect on the values that separate us from our enemies."

don't ya think the insergents in Iraq should live up to those ethical standards as well? Why aren't we outraged at that?
I see they stuck it to another peon in the Iraq prison that I can't spell of Lyndie England fame.
I will believe that justice has been when a bird colonel or higher is in a real jail with a real hammer breaking real rocks.
Hmm I love the idea behind this website, very unique.
