Remember This One

As I recall, several of us were on top of the Taliban burning bodies incident - Jason has a thorough round up on the final CENTCOM report.

Sounds like spin.

A good Article, left my post on his blog:

The Geneva Conventions include Protocol 1, (It mentions that all parties in a conflict must respect victims' remains) added in 1977 but not ratified by the U.S., Iraq or Afghanistan. Could this be why non-judicial punishment for Psych Ops only? It does make sense the Soldiers and unit commander be reassigned to other duties for rehabilitative reasons. MO, I think all soldiers ingaged in war should be monitored for PTSD..dissasociating themselves from the gore of war.
I know for a fact, soldiers are educated on any culture they are schedule to tour.

When this story first came out I asserted that these guys did not commit an act that deserved jail time.

Anyway, it looks like the death squads and torture chambers are back in operation in Iraq... US soldiers fighting and dying so these scumbags [SCIRI, al-DAWA, etc.] can take over Iraq and run it as brutally as Saddam - except they will also turn it into a fundamentalist Islamic state aligned with Iran.

====================

In an interview published in London on Sunday, former interim prime minister Ayad Allawi told The Observer newspaper that human rights abuses in Iraq are now as bad as they were under Saddam Hussein.

"People are doing the same as (in) Saddam's time and worse," he was quoted as saying. "It is an appropriate comparison."

Allawi accused fellow Shia in the government of being responsible for death squads and secret torture centres.

"These were the precise reasons that we fought Saddam and now we are seeing the same thing," the newspaper quoted him as saying.
