The staff judge advocate for the 4th Infantry Division has charged him under the Uniform Military Code with communicating a threat and aggravated assault. A nation that charges soldiers with "communicating a threat" and "aggravated assault" can no longer even justify its own existence, let alone the war in question. I'm usually not the kind of person who likes to say "I told you so," but this is exactly the kind of sh!t I envisioned when I opposed this war in Iraq in the first place -- you simply don't send people into a combat situation and expect them to act like Girl Scouts selling cookies.

He isn't expected to act like a girl scout, he is required to act like a US Soldier. We do not extract information from EPW's or detainees in this manner. Even when it saves lives, the long term effects of us allowing soldiers to act in this manner will cost us far more in the future.
