SLATE: Today's Los Angeles TIMES> leads with lawyers for Marines accused in the Haditha incident saying that the troops were following standard procedure. It's a story similar to one the [Washington POST] had yesterday.<
so maybe we should blame the standard procedure, punishing Bush & Cheney who instituted them? BTW, old Satan -- I mean, Saddam -- Hussein is on trial for allegedly killing civilians who tried to kill him. Didn't Pres. Clinton throw one or two cruise missiles at Iraq when someone allegedly tried to kill Dubya's Dad? were any civilians killed? how about when Clinton bombed the pharmaceutical factory in the Sudan? -- Jim Devine / "The decadent international but individualistic capitalism in the hands of which we found ourselves after the war is not a success. It is not intelligent. It is not beautiful. It is not just. It is not virtuous. And it doesn't deliver the goods." -- John Maynard Keynes.
