Another U.S. Soldier Suicide in Iraq -- Or Was It Murder?
Posted March 23, 2008 | 01:59 PM (EST)

James Musack, 23, who hailed from Riverside, Iowa, died on Nov. 21, 2006, north of Baghdad. In an investigation completed in December 2007 -- but only received by family members last week -- the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command determined Musack died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Oddly, he was due to finish his tour one week later.

The Cedar Rapids Gazette reported, "Musack's body was found in a secluded area used to make phone calls and as a bathroom at Patrol Base South, according to the report. Musack was found lying on his right side, his left arm cradling his M4 Carbine gun, a single bullet wound to his head. There were no defensive wounds on Musack and no signs of foul play, the report said. No suicide note was found.

"Several soldiers interviewed under oath during the investigation said they knew of no reason Musack would kill himself. He had no medical, financial or personal problems they were aware of. Some described him as a quiet person who held in his feelings. When asked what he thought happened, the sergeant told investigators: 'Honestly, I have no idea. Nothing he did was out of the norm.'"

Musack's friends and family say he had become upset by an incident he never fully described, beyond saying he had made someone angry. According to the report, his girlfriend, Melissa Martin, said he called her in mid-October and said, "Honey, I am being set up." At Musack's funeral, Martin said he had made her make a promise. that "if he did not come home, we would all keep doing what we were doing."

1. Witness to war crimes
I think at this point and not to be overly tin foil hat but we really need to be writing the house and senate to begin investigations into this kind of thing.

far too many soldiers have been "suicided" under mysterious circumstances. there was one female soldier in afghanistan I remember who wound up dead after some "mysterious practices" she uncovered.

and if this guy witnessed civilians being targeted, especially children, that doesn't bode well for the evil administration. ESPECIALLY in an election year when they want to keep someone in the white house who will continue their evil.

with private contractors wandering around willing to kill anyone they can point a rifle at, they've already drawn weapons on US troops in the field. would it be any surprise that any troops who have used their chain of command might be targeted by contractors who are considered to be outside international law by the evil administration?
