I have a "wait and see" regarding the investigation, and subsequent consequences, if any. What I don't have a wait and see attitude is for not combatting the ridiculous bullshit splashed on the frontpages and leading of the MSM broadcasts each hour. In case you have not noticed, the MSM is doing everything they can to turn Iraqis and Americans against the war.

Exposing the holes in their storyline is imperative.

Mo doubt about it, the usual suspects in the media are hysterical in that this incident validates their wolrdview of US soldiers as unapologetic, rampaging thugs. Even if all the allegations are true, in fact it doesn't validate their worldview.

Hugh Hewitt yesterday did some homework and found the figure of 900,000 soldiers have served in Afghanistan & Iraq, and between Abu Garab (which was overstated) and this incident (which may turn out to be entirely true), you're looking at maybe 40 or 45 soldiers behaving notably badly. Very small.

Apart from their hysterics, I'm deferential to the investigators. It's interesting to note that a media that goes to pains to insist that the enemy is a small percentage of whackos, goes to no lengths at all to show that wrongdoing is done by a very small percentage of US soldiers.
