ordered the hanging of a teenage girl who committed the high crime of waving at coalition troops.

Yes--but we all know that it is European-White-Males who are truly evil. {sarcasm}

The charges were made by an American officer. So, let's wait and see what the SI Branch turns up.

apparently they were made by a reservist, thats what we are led to believe in the uk. Although this hasnt been confirmed by a reliable source

personally, looking at the "charges"

if i had in my hands the guy responsible for hanging a teenage girl, he would have had an accidental bullet to the head.I dont know if he hit him or not, i do know when collins cut down the dead child he was in a rage.

And the shooting incident: he shot the tyres out of a looters vehicle, he had asked it to stop, the looter refused, so he shot the tyes out and said "which part of no dont you understand".

The left wing press in the uk is having a field day

they have got hold of a dad, whose kid was smacked around th earhole by collins as proof he is "brutal" . The lad was trying to set fire to the regimental barracks at the time

I agree that it is likely that the American major who made the charges against Collins is just mad at Collins for embarrassing him.

The point of my earlier post was that this is not a matter of liberals dreaming up a story against Collins. It is a matter of charges by an American military officer.

nod, although the "american officer" bit hasnt been confirmed by a source i would trust.
