U.S. soldier accused of beating Iraqi prisoners says, `It is war'

One of four American MPs charged with beating prisoners of war at a detention camp in Iraq said Tuesday: "We were doing our jobs. ... It is war. It is not back home where everybody is safe."

Would you want a police officer in your town that got throw out of the military for allegedly beating prisoners?

[ConservativeMan55]

You knew exactly what I was talking about. Whats wrong with the before mentioned club anyways?

[Blood of Tyrants]

P.S. I guess she could always apply to the ATF.

[LN2Campy]

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11

and you don't beat up POWs

maybe she was in the right -- she'd have her day in court if she didn't cop a plea

[ConservativeMan55]

Yes. When the police forces get privatized I would hire her.

Beating prisoners -- the American thing to do? I think not.

[Trust but Verify]

It's one of the more ridiculous things people post on this board, that's what's wrong with it.

More and more I am getting the impression this is a grudge case.

I think you're hitting on something here. This sounds like a real mess.

[ConservativeMan55]

Prisoners beating Soldiers? An Iraqi thing to do?

I think not anymore...after this brave soldier stood up for herself!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

One soldier said that during the attack, a beaten prisoner was "screaming for his life."

Probably screaming like a little girl. Schadenfreude.

Easy for you to say.

Where are you?

Where was she?

Where are you?

'Nuff said.

[ConservativeMan55]

Who said anything about ridiculous?

[Destructor]

Damn straight! Wouldn't bother me one damn bit, if he beat 'em to death.

[ConservativeMan55]

Wow. Thanks for the pics. Not only is she smart, but good looking too.

[Eagle Eye]

Funny how you default to the Iraqi side while I default to the soldier's side.

Where are you again?

And you sit in judgement of her based on this story?

Shameful.

[Dead Dog]

I agree. In this case, I think UCMJ will be evoked appropriately, unlike Col. West.

However, I find it highly amusing to hear of Muslim men squeeling "for their lives" at the hands of big mean GIRLS!!!!!

Pathetic little moon worshiping child molester sissies.

[Trust but Verify]

I did, that's who. Because it is.

[ConservativeMan55]

I'd make her the Defense Secretary.

"One soldier said that during the attack, a beaten prisoner was "screaming for his life."
