Wow. A round of applause for our military, anyone?
I'll give it up.
Seriously, what do we have here ... we have an allegation found in a cable authored by Philip Alston, a UN official and thats about it. I am sure there will be a rush for a kangaroo court to round up the servicemen involved in this incident, but innocent unitl prove guilty is still a part of the UCMJ.
Whatever little confidence and respect you may personally have for the US armed forces as an institution I have even less for in the United Nations and all its functionaries. And as I have served in the US armed forces, I have a very level of respect for them.
Convince me with a trial not with some crude agitprop from the UK Gaurdian.

Some of you "people" here only half listen [or read etc] You miss the details like children being used to poison soldiers and gun placements in schools. Thats ok in you book right? War also requires propaganda to cast doubts on how things are done. The general population is not capable of understanding combat. Nor does it know jack about life and how things are done in other parts of the world. Reading about it on the internet does not make you a expert.
