It's awesome that the MSM is picking up on this story that started off as info on a blog. It's awesome that between Katrina and this, someone's teaching CNN reporters how to be journalists again.
People need to know about this so that they will not be so stunned when they realize that people aren't throwing roses at our feet in Iraq because of us doing sh!t like that over there. People need to know that we do things there that we accuse other countries of doing.
I'm hoping this story will accomplish wiping off those smug smiles off of those soldiers faces by having them brought to trial for what they did. Lyndie England isn't smiling so much these days. It's the same type thing in my opinion. This time it's gloating over someone that just died. That's just inhumane and moronic in my opinion.
An ostrich can bury its head and think everything's fine, but being in the dark is being in the dark.
