What a pile of BS.

Her original article, What's the price of Iraqi lives?--US military is behaving more like Barbarian hordes went far beyond the incident at Haditha under investigation to characterize that the US military is behaving more like a Barbarian horde than a well-trained, sophisticated force. . Charged responses should be expected to an accusation like that. I'm sure she expected them amongst her audience in the Arab world. From the enemies persepctive, of course.

Among her other charges

how "battlefield combatants" were stuffed into airless containers in Afghanistan that were later shot through with bullets

the dead buried under desert sands as members of the US military looked on.

physical and sexual abuses perpetrated by US guards at Abu Ghraib.

levelling of Fallujah where corpses were left in the street to be eaten by scavenging dogs

ambulances were prevented from reaching the sick and dying

family of five was shot while trying to escape the war-torn city by swimming across a river

hundreds have died at the hands of trigger happy US soldiers manning checkpoints.

US marine callously shooting an alleged insurgent, while he was lying injured and comatose on the floor of a mosque

doors were routinely smashed in, their occupants, including terrified small children, made to sit on the floor their hands bound behind their backs.

Sounds like the kind of crap the Palestinans accuse Israel of engaging in. Typical.
