Apparently not. The only person claiming self-defense is the one who's got the most to gain from having us believe it. It's not terribly compelling, I'm afraid.
The nasty, pro-Iraqi American military investigators obviously thought otherwise, otherwise she (and the other three -- don't forget them) would never have faced charges in the first place.
Oh, wait -- we're supposed to forget about the Americans who investigated this, aren't we?
Tell you what, C-man: instead of insulting me, why don't you vent your spleen on the soldiers over in Iraq who brought these charges in the first place?
