Hmmm...the story isn't entirely clear here;

TWO Belgian paratroopers who were photographed "roasting" a Somali boy over a flaming brazier are expected to be jailed for only a month and fined #200 after admitting the atrocity in a military court in Brussels yesterday.

Ah...so did they actually kill him, put him on a spit, and then put him over a fire? Or was it some kind of fake picture of that?

The author also says that after the Sammies killed 20 Pakistani troops and killed and dragged through the streets two American soldiers, the US changed its mission from a humanitarian one to a military fight against the warlords. The author is wrong. Clinton changed the American mission from one of a humanitarian role to that of an offensive (as in assault) role BEFORE the killings and the draggings. It was during one of those offensives that the Americans were killed (19 in all ) and two or three of their bodies dragged through the streets.
