But to kill 13 innocent Iraqis -- maybe women and children...sends a bad message to let 'em live. Well, first please enlighten me concerning the uniform worn by 'insurgents' that so clearly distinguishes them from civilians. The only thing I can think of that identifies insusrgents is that they fire while concealing themselves - behind women and children.

If that's the situation, ya gotta take the innocents out to get to the bad guys..those would be the ones holding the AK-47s and shooting....but what I'm referring to is a My Lai situation where you line up the civilians...unarmed civilians and shoot 'em. I think that's unacceptable behavior, even in a war zone. I think the crap at Abu Graib was wrong too. You don't make a Jihadi talk by humiliation. Hey, torture is okay. But this weak a$$ed crap doesn't fly with me. Oh...and above all: DON'T GET CAUGHT! No records. The idiots at Abu Graib deserved to go to jail for winding up on CNN.
