Now there is an affadavit. The soldier was arrested in Asheville I believe and arraigned just down the road in Charlotte. Thoughts? They don't arrest people based on MSM conspiracies.

Two other soldiers from the division's 502nd Infantry Regiment who were present and interviewed by investigators said Green fired shots from an AK-47 submachine gun that killed the woman, as well as three members of her family: a man, woman and a young girl.

It is a statistical fact that some (more than one) of these sorts are going to be in a population of 150,000+

It is also a statistical fact that a private getting four fellow soldiers to go along with it is about one in 10 million.

In the main no. However lots of folks slander people based on MSM stories - often manipulated by media-savy terrorists.

My point was to not believe 'unnamed sources' and to wait for real evidence.

Your's was: A certain percentage of people are bad actors so…?

Good evening.
"It is a statistical fact that some (more than one) of these sorts are going to be in a population of 150,000+"

billbears, you appear to believe that some among us don't believe this was possible. I haven't seen anyone say that. Do you honestly think any of us, on any side of the issue give a rat's behind about the statistical probability of atrocities being committed or the fact that this could happen? We know it can and that it does. No one has denied that this is possible, or even that the troopers might be guilty.

It's a strange story, for sure. There are so many things these four are supposed to have done that are so completely illogical that they strain credibility. I also want to know whether the guy is in the custody of the military or civilian law enforcement and when the guy who supposedly helped him rape the poor girl is going to be placed in custody.

"MSM conspiracies" is your phrase but it looks to be a good one, what with Rathergate, and the two Times revealing classified info the way they did.

Now let's find out about Haditha as we did about the Marine on film shooting the wounded Iraqi and LT Pantano. All three of these of those are media driven incidents. The Marines were both cleared and Haditha looks like it will be a wash too, but even if it turned out to be true, it would be an aberration, not the norm and we should wait until convictions are handed down before assuming guilt.

The appearance that some are presuming guilt and the anger of others over that is what is feeding this thread.

Most people say that we will find out the truth.
