Soldiers from same small platoon are under investigation for raping and then burning an Iraqi woman's body. A U.S. official close to the investigation said at least one of the soldiers, all assigned to the 502nd Infantry Regiment, has admitted his role and been arrested. Two soldiers from the same regiment were slain this month when they were captured at a checkpoint near Youssifiyah.
The official told the AP the accused soldiers were from the same platoon as the two slain soldiers. The military has said one and possibly both of the slain soldiers were tortured and beheaded.

I know this will be difficult because your heart lies with America. Try anyway. Imagine that America was invaded by a foreign country. Imagine further, you see that individual towns around where you live, including your own town are being bombed and friends and relations are being slaughtered. children are indiscriminately killed. The invader won't leave and is here for God knows how long.
What would be your part in this matter? Would you do nothing,or, would you move to action?
A child in a playground shot dead. A block away, an invader lying in a street headless. How do you define Justice in this case?
Is it fair to call the first instance "collateral damage" and the second "terrorism"?
It's your call!

What would you do if a group of guys tortured, burned, and raped your mother? If it were me, I'd tell them to start digging some graves 'cuz there's about to be some killings.

They reported that the two incidents were unrelated, but I think it is just too much of a coincidence.

Its not fair. You cannot bite a dog only because it did the same with you. Everyone should behave rationally.
