Documents Show Troops Disregarding Rules

[Cat loving Texan]

I hope our troops are killing civilians. Terrorists don't wear uniforms.

[pissant]

F**k the ACLU. They are terrorists.

[massgopguy]

“Former Iraqi General helping Insurgents=Citizen”.

[BMC1]

Since the ALU came up with this document, I will ignore it.

[ClearCase_guy]

The ACLU has 10,000 pages of documentation? For 22 incidents? After 4 years of war?

Are they also collecting documentation on the civilians killed by our enemies? IIRC, they've killed more than we have.

[subterfuge]

Like I’m going to read propaganda from the AP...right.

[BMC1]

Correction....ACLU

[roses of sharon]

Yes, when the Islamic cultists blow up women and children in the marketplace the ACLU and their MSM/DNC, declare those terrorists as “WINNERS”.

[darkwing104]

As oppose to terrorist the U.S. Military investigate illegal acts. All the ACLU is doing is showboating and embolding the enemy's propaganda machine. Now we have have proof that the ACLU is a branch of Al-Queda...make me wonder if they are getting money from Bin-laden.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

As I said on the earlier thread, it’s all about timing for the left. Congress back in session. depalma’s sleezy movie, the political season really crankin’ up, etc.. The left wants to creat the kind of popular groundswell against the war that the Republicans created againt the amnesty bill.

[AprilfromTexas]

My thought exactly, consider the source of this article...

[T.Smith]

"A man shot after a search of his home near Balad uncovered illegal weapons and anti-American literature."

Sounds like a damn good reason to shoot him, as far as I am concerned. What would the ACLU have us do, send him to trial? It's a war, people.

Besides, what does any of this have to do with Americans' "Civil Liberties"?

[freekitty]

Oh yeah, like I am going to believe what these guys say. not

[dooltotheend]

Just another anti-war rant in front of the Patreus report. The Demrats are manipulating and spinning madly to try to obfuscate the truth. Truth always wins out. Even the old Soviet Union could not prevail despite its tight grip on the levers of information.

Sadly American communists continue to believe they will prevail. But if you live a lie, in the end, you die a lier. They will never suppress the human spirit, but it won’t keep them from trying. I have faith that something will happen that will trigger a colassal belch in Amercia. These people will wind up as spittle in the gutter.

I stopped reading after the second sentence when the ACLU was mentioned.

[El Cid]

Has any war been fought anywhere, and in any time, with a flock of lawyers watching every move and potential misstep of its own soldiers? And treating every accusation - even from avowed friends of the enemy - as if it has merit?
Bad stuff happens in wars.
Its best not to have one -- but when forced to engage, don't pretend that mistakes and errors of judgment will never occur.
I'm sure that there are individual incidents that warrant prosecution (there are sociopaths loose in every segment of society) -- but that is not what we're talking about here. This is 'open season' in second guessing every action of our troops. This is wrong and these lawyers at the ACLU are acting like termites seeking to destroy the foundation of our house. If anyone needs being placed under the microscope, and are worthy of prosecution, it is the ACLU folks, not our folks fighting the enemy.

[Rosemont]

ACLU siding with the enemy again.

[Alberta's Child]

This is exactly why more and more military operations are being carried out by private contractors who don’t answer to anybody.

[pissant]

I don’t care what the ACLU has to say about any subject under the sun.

[Alberta's Child]

Neither do I.

Most important of all . . . neither does Blackwater, Halliburton, etc.
