September 2, 2011 - Regardless of whether one agrees with the way Wiki-Leaks releases confidential government records, its latest document dump includes an important, disturbing disclosure. A diplomatic cable includes evidence that U.S. troops in Iraq executed at least 10 civilians, including five children. The cable also suggests the incident was covered up. Although the U.S. military already has cleared American troops of any wrongdoing, the Obama administration has a duty to reopen the case. Ignoring the allegations or chalking the incident up to the fog of war is not an option if the United States wants to stand as a model to Iraq's nascent democracy.
The unclassified cable was from Philip Alston, the United Nations' special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, and addressed U.S. officials in the days following the March 2006 incident in the central Iraq town of Ishaqi. The United States maintained that the deadly scene was the result of a firefight with an al-Qaida in Iraq suspect that resulted in the house he was hiding in being destroyed. A U.S. military probe in 2006 cleared the American troops, saying they followed standard procedure and any civilian deaths were unintentional. read more>>>
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
