I think it's pretty silly to think that something like this won't happen with a few "bad seed" troops - it happens with ANY military from ANY country. Not to say we shouldn't be sickened and shouldn't try to prevent it and punish it, but frankly this isn't shocking to me. What's more shocking to me - although rediculous is a better word to describe it - is that some people feel the need to view this as an indication that that must be what all the troops are doing all over Iraq. To me, that's someone grabbing at straws to find new excuses to say why we "shouldn't be there."
