While nightly news covers Paris Hilton, we don't get to hear about the criminal behaviour and cover-ups that are happening with our own troops while "surging in Haditha", for example.

>A US marine told a court yesterday that he had "pissed" on the head of one of 24 dead Iraqi civilians killed by his unit and watched a superior officer kill five Iraqis as they tried to surrender. The Iraqi civilians had been standing by a white car with their hands interlocked behind their heads when they were shot. "Sgt Wuterich told me that if anybody asked, I was to say they were running away and the Iraqi army shot them."
After the five men died, a team of marines led by St Sgt Wuterich allegedly attacked two houses with grenades and gunfire in an effort to find insurgents. The dead included women, children and the elderly."

Well, I don't know about hearts and minds here, but this has got to stop.
We won't be winning anyone over with OUR brand of democracy.
