Not bright to make such statement in trying to intimidate the court and threaten to visit vigilanti-justice on the innocent.
The more I hear from these witnesses, the more I doubt the story. If I were an American soldier in Iraq, I'd never be taken alive. I'd rather take a bullet then and there than be tortured like those two soldiers were.
This is exactly what I was predicting when I posted the article from the L.A. times last week discussing a possible "link" between the muilations of the two soldiers and this rape case.
My sentiment was that if there was a link, then the savages that captured and butchered these two U.S. soldiers would have originally issued a statement saying that it was in fact revenge for the rape. The obvious reason being, how could these savages pass up an excellent "P.R." opportunity to somehow "justify" their brutality by saying that it was revenge for the rape. However, no such statements were made by the group that publicly claimed responsiblity for abducting the two.
And now, thanks to the Times article and the repeated MSM mentions of possible links, wadda ya know, the locals and insurgents have picked up on this, and are using it now as a reason to further engage in their mindless atrocities. Oh, so NOW they're saying the two were killed that way as revenge. Not to sound racist, but in many cases iraqi's are known to be quite unreliable witnesses and opportunistic liars.
Not to mention the anti war crazies are gonna also have a field day with this as if they haven't already.
Thanks L.A. times and MSM, y'all did the troops and the U.S. a great "favor." Sleep well at night
