Iraw Mutiny Story Getting Legs
From the NY Daily News 'Front Page'

Probe Iraq "Mutiny"

Kin: Army holds U.S reservists who refused 'suicide mission'

The U.s military was investigating a possible mutiny in Iraq yesterday after a platoon of Army reservists refused to go on what they called a "suicide mission."

If confirmed, it would be the first time a group of American soldiers defied a direct order in the Iraq conflict - and a worrisome sign that there might be cracks in the overstretched military's resolve.

(Later in the article)

Nadine Stratford of Rock Hill, whose godson Colin Durham is in the 343rd, said the soldiers balked at being sent on a potentially deadly mission in unarmored fuel trucks - and were now being treated like captured Iraqi insurgents.

This is a pretty shocking article and must be read. The consequences of that idiot Bush sending an unprepared army to war are starting to come home. A lot of similar articles are now showing up on Google News as well.
