US Soldiers Trade Iraqi Dead Photos for Porn (This can't be true, can it?)

Apparantly not.

Did you catch that story about the army cancelling the investigation into this mess?

The Army Criminal Investigation Command in Iraq conducted the preliminary inquiry within the past week but closed it after concluding no felony crime had been committed and failing to determine whether U.S. soldiers were responsible for the photos and whether they showed actual war dead, Army officials said.

LOL Couldn't determine whether U.S. soldiers were responsible for the photos and whether they showed actual war dead?

And we're supposed to trust these idiots? These are the minds that took us into this war. Truly stunning.

Perhaps they could ask the soldiers in the US army uniforms pointing at the dead bodies. THEIR NAMES ARE EMBLAZONED ACROSS THEIR CHESTS IF THAT MAKES IT ANY EASIER TO IDENTIFY THEM.

Oh, and after that, check with Lyndie England to see if people participating in this kind of ghoulish freak show are responsible for their actions.

But this is even more telling...

"We're not blowing this off," Curtin said. "If the Army thinks it's in its interest to investigate something, we will"

It's not in the best interest of the army to investigate. There it is.

Sleepy, your faith in the army to handle this appropriately is misplaced.
