"Surely, nobody should defend the indefensible based on some false notion of patriotism."

Surely, nobody should pronounce guilt without knowledge of the facts. .....as you and Murtha have done. Let the process play itself out.

"Surely, nobody should pronounce guilt without knowledge of the facts. .....as you and Murtha have done. Let the process play itself out."

I have been waiting for the "full story" to come out.
I don't like to think that American soldiers are capable of such a thing. But we know from isolated incidents in Viet Nam and other wars that sometimes our guys can lose their control.

An American soldier who was called in to photograph the bodies is claiming he saw a young girl killed by a bullet to the forehead.

I'm having a hard time understanding the circumstance where a soldier would deem it necessary to shoot a child in her home.
