Reply #6: It's always the way it is

I was listening to the lawyer of that guy mentioned and the Marines did indeed gun all those people down - that's not in dispute, not even by the lawyer. What is to be blamed, according to the lawyer, is the procedure itself which the soldiers were following. It is to break a door down, throw a grenade inside and then burst in and kill everything not already dead. It's some pretty sick shit. But, if anyone is punished it will be the grunt who was doing what the sicko above him told him to do and who deserves the real blame. Same thing as Abu Ghraib. The perpetrators of those crimes were no doubt a bunch of indentured servant-descended morons from the hills, but they were only doing what they were told to do. The blame for those crimes belongs to the generals, the Attorney General and most of all: RUMSFELD. Oh, and Bush. The buck always stops with him. The gool ol' Truman doctrine. It's all a lot of BS.
