#1 or maybe it didn't happen at all and this is just another propaganda piece that the MSM suckered into without real confirmation.

#2 As with Haditha, this "story" is evolving.

The first report said that one of the participants had confessed.

Now it's someone who wasn't there, but heard about it.

Is it too much to wait until they have something more than rumor? Are they so desperate to slime the US Military? It appears the answer is yes. I would ask what the WaPo Editors would do if one of their sons or daughters were involved, would they do this? But, of course, none of their spawn would likely be serving.

WaPo has nothing on The National Enquirer.

#3 Corporal Murtha has direct third-hand knowledge of it. They're guilty! Cold blood, I say!

#4 It must be true otherwise they wouldn't put it on the telly or write about it in newspapers. Besides nobody would make something like this up.

#5 Hard to believe that four would go off the deep end at the same time in the same way, and that one unrelated guy would sit on it. But it should be looked into. We'll see.

#6 Anyone who thinks it's impossible for American servicemen to commit crimes is an idiot. The difference lies in our investigating, trying, and punishing crimes.

Our enemies, lest we forget, celebrate their crimes.

The traitors in our ranks (press, Democrats) spend their days making sure we hear little of our enemy's crimes, and little but our servicemen's crimes.

#7 The official, speaking on condition of anonymity...

It had better be a embassy official cause if its uniform he/she is going to Ft Leavenworth if it is found out. I pretty sure the orders have gone out more than once not to talk UCMJ cases with any media.

#8 Wasn't this a recent movie or tv plot? When I 1st heard of this 'event', I thought: "Oh, yeah. I saw that too. This scandal won't last and be just another anti-US smear propogated by the MSM.

Find rope. Find journalist. Attach.
