can think of to rationalize murder. I'm sure most of them have a personal stake in this, maybe a loved one is stationed in Iraq/Afghanistan and they cannot stand to think he/she might be slaughtering people on a street corner from an armored heli. To many thought of Running Man going through their mind maybe. Dunno. Who knows, I agree it is amusing that people cannot admit that this kind of thing happens and the people responsible need to pay for their 'mistakes'.
