EL PASO, Texas - Four U.S. soldiers accused of murdering suspected insurgents during a raid in Iraq said they were under orders to "kill all military age males," according to sworn statements obtained by The Associated Press.
The soldiers first took some of the men into custody because they were using two women and a toddler as human shields. They shot three of the men after the women and child were safe and say the men attacked them.

What else would we expect them to do, throw spitballs? Of course, shoot first ask questions later if they survive. If they die, one less to worry about later.
I will never understanding why the press continues to distort the facts. Don't they understand that if the terrorists win, they are out of a job?
The only reason they hide from us behind their famly members is we let it work.
Adopt a policy of not caring about human shields and they will quit using them.
KJV says it better: "All who pisseth against the wall..."
...zzzzzzz....
What JAGoffs are running this shiite? The left is now working within the military to hurt morale.
I'd like to see the CinC come out strongly in favor of our guys, regardless of what the TIMES says.
More complicated than that. Every time one pulls a trigger, that is an ethical decision. Especially in asymetical warfare, personal judgement counts.
Bump.
"The ROE (rule of engagement) was to kill all military age males on Objective Murray," Staff Sgt. Raymond L. Girouard told investigators... That target, an island on a canal in the northern Salahuddin province, was believed to be an al-Qaida training camp.
If you are entering a terrorist training camp then you are expected to kill all threats and that naturally would be "all military age males on Objective". Especially when the enemy is fully documented to use suicide attacks as their normal mode of operation.
The irrational homosexuals at AP are at war against America. It has been exposed that they have a homosexual agenda that they tried to advance by filing a fake news report. Which proves that they are nonsensical angry homosexuals who have a personal ax to grind against President Bush because of his religious beliefs, which do not advance their homosexual agenda (see below).
STOCKHOLM, May 10, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A US researcher has called to task the Associated Press for misrepresenting a scientific report on homosexuality. On Tuesday, May 9, the AP ran a story saying that a group of Swedish researchers had evidence showing that the brains of lesbians "react differently to sex hormones than those of heterosexual women".
These findings, AP concluded, "add weight to the idea that homosexuality has a physical basis and is not learned behaviour". A key plank of the homosexual political movement's agenda is that the condition is physical or genetic in origin and therefore cannot be changed, treated or controlled and must be accepted as normal.
SNIP
Dr. Warren Throckmorton, a researcher and Professor of Psychology at Grove City College, found AP's assertions suspect. He wrote to Dr. Ivanka Savic, the leader of the Swedish team at the Stockholm Brain Institute, who confirmed his suspicions. She wrote that AP's conclusion is "incorrect and not stated in the (research) paper." In fact, Dr. Savic confirms that in her team's paper, she specified learning as a possible answer to the cause of homosexual inclinations.
