"Three US soldiers have been charged with premeditated murder following the shooting of three male Iraqi prisoners.
They have also been charged over allegations they threatened to kill a fellow soldier if he spoke about the incident, the US military said.

The detainees died during a US military operation near the Thar Thar Canal near Tikrit in northern Iraq on 9 May.

The three soldiers are currently in custody in Kuwait waiting to hear if they will face a court-martial.

Under military law, the maximum penalty for premeditated murder is a death sentence.

The accused soldiers have been identified as Army Staff Sgt Raymond Girouard, Spc William Hunsaker and Pfc Corey Clagett.

They belonged to 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the elite 101st Airborne Division."

A few more 'bad apples' perhaps?

we should put them in the same room with the Al Qaeda members who just tortured two soldiers to death. We can see who comes out on top.

I'm sure they are just a few bad apples, every bunch will have their share.

JMS gets another English lesson:

Quote:

there is no "mostly unique;" thats like saying "sometimes always," its an oxymoron - its either one or the other.

The result:

Quote:

By the mid-19th century unique had developed a wider meaning, “not typical, unusual,” and it is in this wider sense that it is compared. The comparison of so-called absolutes in senses that are not absolute is standard in all varieties of speech and writing.

That's gotta be the BEST idea I've heard all day!!!

Hold on, JP5 and Reb. Remember what happened to Ilario Pantano. Don't you go assuming they're guilty too.
