    Marines charged in Iraqi death

    Just read an article about the Marines that killed Hasham Ibrahim Awad, 52, a disabled veteran of Iraq's war with Iran in the 1980s. These guys were facing the death penalty for this. Maybe they were wrong but WTF??? What really pisses me off is the second part of the article (I listed it below). With shit like this, how can we blame them for doing it. Not saying it is right, but dozens of innocent people are being killed by these bombs and we want to put our own soldiers to death for killing 1 guy?


    Bombings kill 47

    Insurgents launched a string of bombings Wednesday in Baghdad and the nearby provinces of Diyala and Babil, killing at least 47 people and wounding more than 100 others, emergency officials said.

    The violence reflects an uptick in casualties since Sunday, with nearly 200 Iraqis dying in bombings and shootings -- a challenge for U.S.-led coalition and Iraqi troops who said they had been making progress in establishing law and order, particularly in the capital.

    In an attack on a major commercial area in Baghdad, at least 24 Iraqis were killed and 45 more wounded Wednesday morning when a bomb ripped through Shurja, the city's largest market, Baghdad emergency police said.

    An hour later, a car bomb exploded near a fuel station in central Baghdad, killing two and wounding 15, including five police officers, emergency officials said.

    A second bomb in the same area near Andalus Square was detonated minutes later as a rescue team arrived to assist the wounded.

    Attackers also struck security force targets in hot spots outside the capital.

    At least 12 people were killed and 38 wounded Wednesday when an explosives-rigged bicycle detonated outside an Iraqi army recruitment center in Hilla, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) south of Baghdad in Babil province.

    In the Diyala provincial town of Muqdadiya, at least three people were killed and 10 wounded -- including three police officers -- when a roadside bomb exploded near a police patrol, a Baquba police official said. Muqdadiya is north of Baquba, the provincial capital.

    In Buhriz, another Diyala town south of Baquba, six members of a family were killed and two wounded in a roadside bomb attack targeting a minibus, a Baquba police official said.

    My grandfather would ell me stories of the Indian tribes in Washington State. One time two teenagers murdered an ice cream truck driver after they robbed him (all Native Americans), and since it was on the reservation the tribe was allowed to handle it as they saw fit.

    The sent the teenagers to an uninhabited island for 1 year with 1 month of food to survive. What a genius idea. If they made it out alive, they would be completly changed for the better. If not, oh well!
