Reply #7: Someone better send this to Fox 'News'

I just saw them call Massey a liar as if it had been established and wondered what I had missed since I thought he had only been 'accused' of lying.

The reason I believe him is because of other soldiers who have told similar stories. Eg, I remember reading a tragic story of one soldier who was so depressed when he returned home, his family did not know what to do. Before he killed himself, he had asked a family member one day 'did you know that children gurgle when they are dying'. He had not spoken much at all about his experiences, and they were shocked by the question.

Sgt Kevin Bendermann, currently serving 15 months in prison for refusing to return to Iraq, has also stated that he refused to follow orders to shoot at civilians, sometimes children.

And then there are all the other stories of people being shot at checkpoints, the most memorable ones being the Italian journalist and the agent who had rescued her. The Italians are asking that the troops involved be extradited to Italy for trial. Then there was the little girl that sat in the dark, covered in her parents blood, screaming after her parents were shot to death at a checkpoint.

This war should never have happened ~ and I blame the liars who got us into it for everything that is happening there. I don't know why they have gone after Massey particularly. He isn't the only one to have told stories like this. And the world has seen the torture pictures. We don't exactly have the moral highground anymore ~
