This is one case in which I appreciate the informant involved. According to Hal Bernton of the Seattle Times, twelve soldiers from a Western Washington-based Stryker infantry brigade face Article 32 hearings for war crimes committed in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan earlier this year. Five of these freaks in uniform formed a "kill squad" for the purpose of murdering Afghan men and the other seven allegedly participated in cover-up and retaliation against the informant. They kept body parts as souvenirs of the war crimes.
The 12 soldiers face sentences that range from life in prison to death. The real question is how many more did they murder during the year they were in Afghanistan representing the United States? No way that there were only three murders with these whacko boys running loose for an entire year. I do not buy it for a New York minute. Do you?
On the other side of the equation we have Omar Khadr, taken into U.S. custody in July of 2002 and still awaiting his sham trial by military commission. Read The Show Trial of Omar Khadr for the specifics. The day that I published the article, Omar's attorney collapsed in court and the trial is now postponed until October 18th.
Omar Khadr is only guilty of defending himself and his family from invading and occupying forces such as the murderous 5 + 7 from the 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division (since renamed). Would you believe that Omar and his family should have died for the likes of these war criminals from the land of the free and the home of the brave? Would you teach your 15 year-old to die willingly for them?
I know who the war criminals are in this picture. Do you?
