Curious. Given the enormust damage New Week the Washington POst and others have done with wholly faudlent reporting what measure of atonement/punishment can we expect our Civil Authoriy to impose on them? They have been activly aiding enemy propaganda in a time of war for years now. "Flush the Koran" The Phony CIA Prisions story, "GI raping Iraqi women" and dozens and dozens of other fraudlent stories. Some of you are so intrested in "Justice" when do we get Justice for this that is doing FAR more harm to our war efforts?

Those who protect the mind, spirit, and physical well-being of the individual soldier pray for justice coming down hard on those who lie about and undermine our nation....for they undermine our troops.

But, we still must be true to our MILITARY Code of ethics.

It's true that there's an exception to every rule, in my experience. It's also true that the battlefield seems uniquely able to bring up the damnedest situations that no one ever even dreamed of when they made up the rules.

At that point, we've got to trust the training of the soldier to make the best of it that he can at that time.

Under what circumstances is shooting unarmed women and children justified? This is precisely what the Marines are alleging.

If it can be proved that it happened, it is unexcusable and should be punished severely.
