I just can't believe the non-reactions by some people here. Once the WMD issue went south, we played up the human rights violations because it was one of the only ways to justify the war. Now we have our own soldiers committing human rights violations and you people act like it's no big deal or that they had it coming to them.
If we want to be the world's police force and say what's right and what's wrong then we need to lead by example. Well the time to lead by example is here and Bush better make an example of these lowlifes and any superiors that were involved, no matter what rank. We need to be public with the proceedings so that the whole world will know that we don't put up with that shit.
If we tolerate this shit, what's it going to be like for our POWs?
BTW, these aren't the only alleged war crimes during the war. There were reports that we used napalm and cluster bombs also. I guess the Geneva Convention is only meant to apply to our enemies.
