Sat March 22, 2003 11:59 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - One of the 13 soldiers wounded in a grenade attack on a tented camp in Kuwait early on Sunday has died of his injuries, CNN reported. Time magazine correspondent Jim Lacey told the broadcaster by telephone from Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait that he had been told of the death by several people.

"We're allowed to talk about it," he said.

I wonder about the guy who shot this terrorist in the leg after they found him. Should we give him a medal or send him back to the rifle range-Both?

And this about Aaron Brown I posted on another thread....what a despicable human being....

Yah, Aaron Brown will admit when he's wrong as well...the liberal news-puke just "apologized" to (today's) anti-war protesters, after having referred to today's rallies as "100's of thousands of anti-war and pro-troop/Bush....", implying that the numbers for/against were equal. His "apology" included the comment (paraphrasing) to the affect that there were many, many more anti-war protesters vs. pro-troop/Bush supporters. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!!!!

A thread on FR re 2nd suspect. But there was speculation on TV regarding this as well. I have been notified on this thread that there is no second perp.

I went to my comments page to get cindydawg the link to the thread about the 2nd guy..and got this message..

2nd soldier detained in Camp PA attack! (Story later retracted)

[CindyDawg]

Oh ok. With the way things are going, it wouldn't surprise me though.

[Freedom2specul8]

thread pulled..

[BunnySlippers]

Yes, I've heard there are Muslims in the Secret Service for the President....if my memory serves me clearly.

Hmmm ... I do not doubt you. But are they black muslims or regular muslims?

[Freedom2specul8]

a medal..

Maybe we can get info about bin laden or more of his 'crew' from that guy..

[2rightsleftcoast]

Reporter didn't say what he was written up for. I am livid.
Get the Muslim soldiers out of Iraq. If Muslims can't fight Muslims then they don't belong in this battle. Our troops have to rely on each other. Stop the PC bull. Made mistake and went over to the Dark side site. I am once again stunned at the disrespect etc.

I heard one report that the traitor had grenade sharpnel in his leg and had not been shot.

Airborne guys don't miss. They have had one of the highest kill rate per bullet in the Army during WWII to the present.

[BunnySlippers]

I think we should cut the news orgs a little slack. Reports from the field said that the military shushed this up and said news would come in 2 hours. Fox came on and made the muslim connection but heavily said that it was not verified. ..... CNN talking about Arab-Americans and the fact that the guy had an Arabic name. D*mn!

"That they left him in control of some ammo is amazing to me."

Hell, the CIA and Nothern Alliance parked the captured Taliban prisoners right next to the arsenal at Mazar-i-Sharif. Amazingly stupid.

[wretchard]

If only 2% of US military are Muslims then, in a size of the force deployed in Iraq, there are 4,000 of them who are doing their duty creditably. One person should not nullify that.

There are Muslims and Muslims. There's the happy-go-lucky, two-whiskey Turkish Muslim and there's the brooding Black Muslim, probably born in Detroit. It's best to focus on getting rid of these secret ideological enemies in our ranks and keep the loyal Muslim Americans, many of whom are probably behind enemy lines sneaking up on Saddam, out of it. Some of our Special Forces are indistinguishable from the natives, and were probably born Muslim.

The 13 injured and 1 person killed are bad enough, but the worst damage this creep can do is make us all look at each other like the characters in The Thing. We should show this man and his mentors no mercy, but the loyal must be shown every courtesy. It is important to exclude the innocent just as much as punish the guilty. It is by increasing the contrast in the treatment between these two categories that you send the right message. The day we start punishing good and bad alike, there's no percentage to being loyal.

[2rightsleftcoast]

We had the one Muslim on the Presidents detail, remember?
He threw a fit when he was on a flight and they questioned his gun and credentials. I never trusted him after his fit.
I hope and pray he is no longer protecting our President.
It sickens me.

[Freedom2specul8]

It's just horrendous... I'm still in shock over it.

[whadizit]

I wonder if CNN will show the Palis. passing out candy?

[Freedom2specul8]

"Most Black Muslims should never be in the military or near a gun or a grenade."

I just don't know what to think about that...someone on another thread said to get all muslims out of the military.. maybe it is the answer until all of this is over?

[goodnesswins]

That, I do not know ((black or regular muslim). It would be kind of hard to tell wouldn't it....do they have some kind of card they carry to certify they are one or the other? (Sorry, that's partially sarcasm.)
