WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military has investigated the deaths of 25 prisoners held by American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and determined that two prisoners were murdered by Americans, one an Army soldier and the other a CIA contractor, Army officials said on Tuesday.
An Army official said that a soldier was convicted in the U.S. military justice system of killing a prisoner by hitting him with a rock, and was reduced in rank to private and thrown out of the service but did not serve any jail time.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a private contractor who worked for the CIA was found to have committed the other homicide against a prisoner...

this horribLe.

And Dumsfeld can write the report to be broadcast on Faux

about how it's all just a one off.

Man, getting busted down to private for murder will just ruin your whole day!

This is NOT the kind of justice that will calm the growing anger. Ugh.

All the rhetoric, all the endless carping that Bush did about "bringing Democracy to Iraq" is positively history. The man cannot go there anymore.

They are simply going to have to find a new approach because this one won't work.

There is really nothing more they can say about this "liberation" because our reputation internationally is finished.
