Occupation Iraq: Medic!

You don't want this guy -- not if you are an Iraqi.

Aren't MEDICS supposed to HEAL PEOPLE, not KILL THEM?


"US soldier guilty in killing of Iraqis" by George Frey, Associated Press | February 21, 2009

VILSECK, Germany - A US Army medic was convicted of murder yesterday for his involvement in the execution-style slayings the deaths of four Iraqi prisoners [who were] bound and blindfolded Iraqi detainees [and] whose bodies were dumped in a Baghdad canal in 2007 after they were shot in the back of the head in spring 2007.

The court sentenced him to life in prison.... with the possibility of parole....

Why not give him him what he gave them?

Wait a minute, POSSIBILITY of PAROLE???

Leahy, 28, was acquitted of murder in a separate incident involving the death of another Iraqi in January 2007....

Oh, so THIS SORT of THING has HAPPENED BEFORE, 'eh?

Leahy's civilian lawyer, Frank Spinner, argued that Leahy went along with the killings because he was dazed from a lack of sleep and numb from being in a war zone for months.

And YET GEORGE W. BUSH -- the man who placed them there over his rancid lies is walking around and planning a world tour.

It was a sentiment bolstered Thursday in testimony from Colonel Charles Hoge, a doctor and director of psychology and neuroscience at the Army's Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. He testified that Leahy was unable to reason properly because of the constant danger of living and operating in a war zone and getting little sleep for months on end....

One, I heard the guys liked it over there now and two, we justify war crimes and mass-murder here in AmeriKa!

The Iraqis were taken to the US unit's operating base in Baghdad for questioning and processing, although there was not enough evidence to hold them for attacking the unit. Later that night, patrol members took the Iraqis to a remote area and shot them in retribution for the attacks on the unit, according to testimony....

Try to think of it as a LIBERATION PROGRAM, Iraqis.
