"They work really hard on the lesser actors to try to get them talk about the greater actors," Puckett said.

It strikes me as odd that a corporal in Wuterich's squad was not charged--despite DOD leaks that he would be.

I'm pig ignorant about the workings of military justice. Do people cop pleas in court martial cases?

Also, the only officer on the scene that morning was not charged with anything either. Doesn't that seem like something is going on behind the scenes?

"Military prosecutors have declined to discuss the case, which has drawn great interest in Iraq. Prosecutors say....."

Is the AP guy/gal stretching the facts a little here?

Being an old, old Marine, I can recall the combat training I received. We were told that we were to take prisoners only when requested by upper echelon. They also explained why. Just common sense. You can't afford to take men out of the line to babysit and remove prisoners to the rear. I received this training over 50 yrs ago
