Would you want a police officer in your town that got throw out of the military for allegedly beating prisoners?

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11

and you don't beat up POWs

maybe she was in the right -- she'd have her day in court if she didn't cop a plea

Yes. When the police forces get privatized I would hire her.

Beating prisoners -- the American thing to do? I think not.

It's one of the more ridiculous things people post on this board, that's what's wrong with it.

More and more I am getting the impression this is a grudge case.

I think you're hitting on something here. This sounds like a real mess.

One soldier said that during the attack, a beaten prisoner was "screaming for his life."

Probably screaming like a little girl. Schadenfreude.

Funny how you default to the Iraqi side while I default to the soldier's side.

Where are you again?

And you sit in judgement of her based on this story?

Shameful.

I agree. In this case, I think UCMJ will be evoked appropriately, unlike Col. West.

However, I find it highly amusing to hear of Muslim men squeeling "for their lives" at the hands of big mean GIRLS!!!!!

Pathetic little moon worshiping child molester sissies.
