Actually, that's what the article, linked by the conservative Matt Druge, said.
'Conservative' Matt Druge nails both sides equally, so why the label?

The democrats are desprate for ANYTHING to pin on Bush. This is just a desperate attempt to blame the administration for the actions of a few individual soldiers. Oh and before you blame the Bush crew for this, who do you blame for this one?

Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Army unit accused of abusing Kosovar Albanian civilians while on peacekeeping duty was not properly trained for a mission that required "tempering their combat mentality," according to an Army investigative report released Monday.

The report detailed numerous acts of misconduct by several members of the 82nd Airborne Division and said their commanders shared blame for not taking action once apprised of the misbehavior.

As reported publicly in August during the rape-and-murder trial of Staff Sgt. Frank J. Ronghi, the Army investigators found evidence that several other soldiers were guilty of abusing Kosovar Albanian civilians.

Ronghi was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of raping and murdering an 11-year-old girl. Nine other soldiers from his unit were given various forms of administrative punishment; the investigator recommended that commanders consider court-martialling some of the nine, but they were not.
I hope you get my point with this one eh?
