#9  MS - nobody here believes the tripe you keep peddling as "world truth"; to quote you: "Why should we believe them you now?"

Re #7 (Zhang Fei) to decide whether to trust a GI's word or a Muslim's word

The GIs were lying, and now they have admitted it. A major in the unit testified in court that the lieutenant colonel in charge ordered people to lie about the incident.

The US Army investigators who officially investigated the matter concluded and testified that the unit as a whole was lying to cover up the incident. Here's a quote from another article:

Sgt. Irene Cintron said soldiers who ordered two young Iraqi men into the water at first denied the event took place – then said it happened but that nobody died. Because of earlier efforts to cover up, subsequent tips were deemed unreliable, she said. "I believed the whole chain of command was lying to me," Cintron testified during the military trial ....

Now these same liars are trying to peddle the yarn that the young man did not drown. Why should we believe them now?

#7  MS: One Sunni drowned, and one Sunni walked away.

Really? Where's his body? You gotta love how his parents identified someone else's body as his. Maybe he was killed shooting at GI's. But that's Mike Sylwester for you - when he has to decide whether to trust a GI's word or a Muslim's word, he'll always side with the Muslim.

#4  MS: I agree. In the end, the system worked and did the right thing.

Coverup of a prank where two Sunnis who broke a dusk-to-dawn curfew walked away after being thrown into a river?

#3  Instapundit: For a while it looked as if there might be a coverup. I'm glad that turned out not to be the case.

I agree. In the end, the system worked and did the right thing.

#2  This is the first visit I've paid to the Puppy Blender in a couple of months. He invites Megan McArdle to post - and she's one of the larger asshats around, IMHO. Sent me to the Email point more than once. Screw Glenn.
