CAMP PENNSYLVANIA, Kuwait -- The 101st Airborne Division soldier accused of single-handedly killing a division captain and wounding 15 fellow soldiers is a Muslim who made anti-American statements after he was apprehended, according to soldiers who survived the suspect's grenade and automatic weapon attack early yesterday.

The soldier, who rolled a grenade into each of three tents of sleeping officers and senior noncommissioned officers of the 101st, shot at least two fellow soldiers as they raced from their tents, the witnesses said.

Outside the charred and blood-splattered tents yesterday afternoon, soldiers recalled hearing the suspect say as he was being led away by armed soldiers: ''You guys are coming into our countries, and you're going to rape our women and kill our children

''It's bad enough we have to worry about enemy forces, but now we have to worry about our own guys,''

I have heard that he is being flown back to the US for trial.

Our troups would have to worry about our own guys a lot less if he were court martialed in the field and then executed on the spot.

I hope your information is wrong, but I fear it is right.

Political Correctness killed a fine man, and wounded many others. No way NoI nutcases should be in the Armed Forces.

Ike had a deserter shot for being AWOL. He was shot overseas. This person certainly deserves the same.

He's going to need a good Jewish lawyer. (Sorry, couldn't resist)
