Detainee deaths not all foul play, U.S. Army says

The Army says about half of 24 suspicious deaths of detainees had insufficient evidence to prove foul play or were justified homicides.

Spokesmen released the breakdown after a spate of news stories appeared this week on the death toll of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan. Army officials say some stories left the impression that all the deaths were still the subject of suspected foul play by soldiers, when they were not.

The MSM never lets facts get in the way of a good military-bashing.

My cousin was in Guantanamo for about a year, and he said he saw this terrorist bastard spit in the face of and hit this HUGE soldier in the face. Said the soldier was as big as the biggest pro wrestler. The soldier hit the guy ONCE and crushed his face. The terrorist pig lost half his teeth, broken nose, crushed eye socket, broken jaw, the works.

Anyway, I'm sorry MSM, I can't feel any sympathy for these guys.

So true and it's sickening.

It appears to me that the MSM has nothing to gain by attacking GWB's vision for the Middle East, so they are attacking our troops in harms way in a desperate attempt to discredit their actions and mission.

God help those poor bastards

I have a customer who is a Doctor at GITMO, he tells me that the prisoners are the most barbaric bunch he has ever seen, and he has been around for a while as a doctor at Walter Reed
