I'm almost speechless...
What are the details on the "Vote to give amnesty to American troop killers?"

Before I go totally ballistic. Tell me our own Senate didn't do it or it was
some sort of a mistake.

1. Nope theres been a grass roots mobement by the right wing to let
troops off the hook for murdering Iraqis. I'm sure if you dig deep enough you'll find that the pukes had a after hours closed to the democratic congress to push it through. I been catching hints here and there that there was a push to let the guilty off.

4. Then that makes sense when you take into account there is also a push to
let the soldiers that killed unarmed Iraqis off the hook. I saw a local poll today that asked what should be done to the soldiers that kill innocent civilians.

5. Ive been talking to some friends who are involved
In the case with the handicapped Iraqi and the Marines/Corpsman and there is apparently a healthy disgust whith what they are accused of and if they are found guilty (which I think they will be) they are gonna pay. The brass is fuming at his one.
