Ex-US marine: I killed Iraqi civilians
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 02:10 AM by GHOSTDANCER
A former US marine has said his unit killed more than 30 innocent Iraqi civilians in just two days.

In graphic testimony presented to a Canadian asylum tribunal on Monday, Sergeant Jimmy Massey's evidence appeared to bolster war crime claims made by fugitive US paratrooper Jeremy Hinzman.

The 26-yea-old Hinzman said he would face persecution if sent home to the US, in a politically charged case which could set a precedent for at least two other American deserters seeking asylum in Canada.

He would be persecuted???bahhh....I don't think this guy got the memo, see here in Bush country you seem to move up in rank for that kind of service to the country.

4. The majority have neither
and will 'act out'.

What have we done to them?
