I have no idea. But it doesn't even matter. I'm sure there are a hundred such war crimes hidden from view for every one that gets captured. That's the nature of war, and we are fighting a particularly dirty and evil one.

I have no doubt that I've actually seen pictures of bleeding and maimed Iraqi children. That's all it takes for me to run fresh out of benefit of the doubt for "our boys."

What makes them sacred? Isn't a society that worships its military fascist? They volunteered, they weren't drafted. They have laws to follow, and they have patently ignored them often enough in this sick war to raise suspicions among the most reasonable people. I am fed up with acting like politial justice must be sought in the names of dead American soldiers and their families. We've killed at 100 times more civilians than we've lost soldiers. That's where I want to look for justice.

I am not rooting against our soldiers. I am rooting against a sickening war. And I want any war criminals among "our boys" to face international justice. So far, the Abu Ghraib folks have gotten community service, and that's been the extent of it.
