Sorry, nothing to see here but laughable grandstanding by the left.
If they had any credibility in the least they would have done the same to Saddam Hussien rather then make contracts with him.
Pathetic how irrelevant they have become.
And isn't today's news ironic?

German army abuse alleged
Up to 40 trainers of conscripts under investigation, defense chief says
By RICHARD BERNSTEIN
THE NEW YORK TIMES
BERLIN -- Germany's defense minister has taken steps to contain a widening scandal involving accusations of abuse of conscripts in the German army, but he acknowledged that some trainers are under investigation.
"We have 12,000 trainers in the army, and at the moment, 30 or 40 are being investigated," the minister, Peter Struck, told a meeting of the Defense Committee in the German Parliament on Wednesday, the German Press Agency reported.
Struck was speaking a week after accusations began appearing in the German media that conscripts have been physically abused by trainers at four army bases in Germany, with more than 20 officers and non-commissioned officers at one such base already under investigation.
The accusations involve stories of trainers dressed in Arab costumes beating recruits, giving them electrical shocks and dousing them with cold water.
