Watch Fox News if you have it..they are not sanitizing the story. American-muslim, but not confirmed by the military.

We need to scan the DU for quotes of them glorifying this attack. Then we forward that persons email to the 101'st Unit.

Any soldier that attempts wholesale murder of fellow soldiers in a combat situation should result in immediate execution upon a finding of guilt. I hope that Bush has the guts to see that same is carried out.

The perp may be a muslim--pretty much accepted as fact, but actually not confirmed. Witnesses said he was "acting funny" before the attack. Fox sources say the motive may be "resentment, but did not give details. The grenade attack targeted officers tents.

If this is true, the Field Commander has execution authority.

In fact, any rank having executed the mutineer would have been easily acquitted.

Now for the final question: Was the mutineer Muslim?

This is a death penalty case, isn't it?

Yes. And lest people get confused, it does not matter if any soldiers died in this attack. The attack itself is treason by a member of the armed forces in the face of the enemy.

The maximum penalty is death by firing squad.
