I actually concur with a bit of what Timalkin said in his post, sans the cretin-speak. Maybe I should mod-a-quote it to express my feelings more clearly.

There should be and most likely will be legal proceedings. You can't sweep this under the carpet now that it has been YouTube'd. It will be addressed in some fashion. We can speculate about how its a kangaroo court, slap-on-the-wrist'd, and a good ole boy system all we want, too. Fap fap fap.
I'm not a smart guy, so I don't know where people develop that sentiment about the US. I guess it's my liberal public school education, but I see the United States as a arrogant bumbling rich white teenager with good intentions, horrible eyesight, and an absent mind regarding taking care of its own house. We aren't exactly all gunslinging cowboys and we certainly aren't European. I'd say ignoring economic segregation is our current epic fuckup.
The war was a not-so-clever distraction.

I'd suggest that the only real war crime is fighting beyond your initial justification.
With Iraq? We didn't have it to start with.
