Witnesses Tell of Troop Stress Before Attack
By Louise Roug
BAGHDAD - U.S. soldiers accused of raping a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and killing her along with her family suffered from tremendous stress and were ultimately not responsible for the alleged massacre, defense attorneys said, as final arguments began in a hearing to determine whether the men should face a court-martial.
So who ever caused their stress is the guilty party? Is that right? I'm just trying to understand. And I heard a rumor that Iraqi cough syrup (mixed with alcohol) contributed to their behavior as well. So it's definitely an all-Iraq probem and all the citizens of Iraq must share equally in the blame.
I hope these monsters wont get a pass in some circles because they are soldiers. They clearly were monsters, a professional soldier does not act this way. There have been war since the begining of time, there have been war crimes just as long. There are no excuses.
