This is Disgusting...

This is Disgusting...
But I don't know which is worse. The murderous scumbags masquerading as soldiers or the fact that the Army tried to suppress the story.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/der-...story.html


Quote:The German newsmagazine Der Spiegel has published two photographs depicting U.S. Army soldiers posing next to the corpse of an Afghan civilian moments after he was killed in an incident the Army has classified as a murder.

The photos are among several hundred the Army has sought to keep under wraps as it prosecutes five members of the 5th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, for the alleged murders of three unarmed Afghan civilians last year. The photographs published by Der Spiegel were among those covered by a judicial protective order issued by a military judge, prohibiting their public release.

Posing next to a corpse? Do they stylize themselves as big game hunters of a sort because they can kill an unarmed human civilian?

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's disgusting, but it certainly is disturbing.

Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I read about this a little while ago. If nothing else we can at least be glad that these sociopaths are being brought to justice.

We just need to bring the sociopaths that sent them to these endless wars to justice. Above all, the responsibility lays at the feet of the Bush Administration.
