Exactly. The author blames the 0.01% of the military for the problem. But the real problem is that the press never covers the 99.9%. The press has consistently portrayed our soldiers as only dumb, 'underclass' victims or dumb, 'underclass' criminals for the past 3 years.

And the 'ethics training' is ridiculous. Troops go berserk when they are hit repeatedly and either the ROE do not allow them to go after the terrorists aggressively enough or they are not being given the means (manpower, armor, air cover) to respond effectively.

The Bush administration is degenerating into complete incompetence and spinelessness before our enemies, both foreign and domestic.

We have treason, sedition, etc. laws but don't use them. It may take "private action" to cure the illness.

Absolutely right MO1! There is a lot more to Haditha than meets the eye. The drive-bys conveniently forget to mention that the place(haditha) has been a terrorist hell-hole for months now.

There have been daily beheadings at a local bridge where five year olds cheer when someone is beheaded. This is the kind of bizarre place our troops have been thrust into.

They deserve, at the very least, a full and comprehensive investigation that takes into account everything that has been going on at haditha including five year olds acting as scouts/lookouts for the terror types.
