Surely you remember The Jetsons. I found this rather interesting:

Marine to stand trial over detainee killing in Iraq

British defense secretary announces public inquiry into Iraqi detainee death

One day apart. What baffles me is what about the thousands of other non-combatants were murdered by who knows how many other soldiers on both the US and the UK sides? Now we hear mumblings about the Australians torturing and killing detainees as well.

I remember well the incident with the Mr. Mousa. Why, I wonder, did it take so long to charge the soldier responsible for this? It’s nearly five years later!

Of course Marine Sergeant Jermaine Nelson is being tried now, Jose Nazario will be charged in civilian court (what, why?). You have to love this line out of the first article:

Newspaper reports have said as many as eight insurgents were shot dead after being captured. Under military law, the killing of a captured enemy combatant who does not pose a threat is treated as murder.

For those of you uninitiated in the ways of how the DoD handles what information comes out of Iraq (or anywhere else) let me suggest watching the video at the end of this post.? There were many more murders in both Iraq, and Afghanistan.? Trust me, there were MANY more than 8!? Good links are:

I think they are trying to offer us small offerings. I want the mastermind behind all this to stand trial, and I do not mean KSM.
