I Don t Want To See Their Faces; I Don t Want To Hear Them Scream

By Christopher Cooper

The whole thing is regrettable, really. Shocking, truth to tell. And so sad, I am sure, for those people, those blanket-wearing, beard-growing, false-god-worshiping, probably-related-to-terrorists, citizens of Afghanistan.

American Is Held After Shooting at Least 16 Civilians in Afghanistan

Taimoor Shah and Graham Bowley, The New York Times News Service: ''A United States service member walked out of a military base in a rural district of southern Afghanistan on Sunday and opened fire on three nearby houses, killing at least 16 civilians, including several children, local villagers and provincial officials said. The shooting risks further inciting anti-American sentiment in Afghanistan and troubling a relationship that had already been brought to a new low by the burning of Korans at an American military base last month.''

Who are the ''terrorists?''

03/12/12

A major factor in the increasing level of criminality in our armed forces has got to be the apparent immunity of our political elites from the rule of law. In spite of the boasting of former Vice President Dick Cheney that he personally approved and authorized torture, the Obama administration has refused to indict him, even though he has violated US law. Others who participated, the lawyers who justified it, the officers who covered it up, have been granted similar immunity. In short, these guys are getting away with it, so why shouldn t the grunts?
