This story has quickly changed from a firefight to killing him while he slept.

If this is true, it's no wonder the US doesn't want our troops to be under criminal codes like everyone else.

Sssshhhh!!!

You're only supposed to report good news! Didn't you get the memo?

Mark my words. The repubs will flood this topic by saying he deserved it because he had a gun.

Imagine that? A gun in a country with a civil war going on that we started. How dare they.

While he slept.

Imagine all the southerners who sleep with their guns - they can be shot also.

The UCMJ is the military's criminal code.
It's applicable to all military members worldwide

Iraq has once again requested authority to try military who break local laws - the US refuses. This might go on for a hundred years......

Look, I have opposed the war from the beginning, but the son was apparently sharing a house with an AQ operative. He either knew what he was doing was dangerous, or he was ignorant of his friend/family member's AQ connection and was an innocent casualty. Either way, though, it's kind of hard to paint this as evil or recklessness on the part of the American soldiers.

They shot a governors son while he slept but took the terrorist into custody.

hmm, this sounds familiar....how does three shots to the forehead of an American football hero sound?

I think the Spec Ops guys deserve to report their side of the story, before anyone plugs in the electric chair to fry them.

SOCOM are professionals.

If they can be found,

They probably already gave their side and no one will be punished anyway.
