War Crimes
There are four major Iraq war crimes wending their way to justice, in which our guys are in the dock--Killing the wrong guy (Hashim Ibrahim Awad), shooting some prisoners, the horrible rape murder and Haditha. All but Haditha are pretty much over and our guys were pretty much guilty in the three. In the shooting prisoners case, the two shooters pled out and testified against their sergeant who was convicted of negligent homicide and sentenced to 10 years (the shooters got 18) and another guy pled out and got less than a year. Guys are admitting guilt in the wrong guy case and in the rape murder. I keep holding out hope that, in the Haditha case, our guys are acquitted, just to show Rep. Jack 'no bribe at this time' Murtha (D-PA) has his head up his ass for his sentence first, trial later, well covered opinions.
