If Newsweek's allegations were even in part true, those involved crossed the line and should be punished by any applicable statute of military code of justice.
I'm curious, though....if the allegations *weren't* true, however, what recourse do the victims' families have against Newsweek? In the U.S., those families would be suing the Be-jeebus out of the publication. This provides the family with some measure of justice, and provides Newsweek with their only real incentive NOT to file stories like this. Since the Constitution provides for a free press & therefore protects Newsweek from federal prosecution, does anyone know if any legal options exist in the affected countries/areas?
