Grim Testimony At Troops' Hearing

Iraqi witnesses are giving evidence in a closed session because of the risk that they could be targeted by insurgents for appearing to help the American military in its prosecution. The BBC's Jane Peel, on the military base in Baghdad where the hearing is takig place, says the Iraqi medic described arriving on the scene of the deaths.

    One may wonder how many of these events occurred without being discovered. The military will protect their own. The excuse usually given is that "these men are under pressure". Of course one may ask why, if others are also under pressure, then did those not act accordingly. It is only befitting that the country commits a greater crime, by the invasion, that now their representatives are now showing their true colours. If anything, the inhumanity is vastly exposed and leaves very few that don't demand the USA stop their crime today and leave the country they desecrated. Of course the USA will publically admonish those solders but continue to domineer Iraq. The USA itself should pay the ultimate penalty. But what punishment could they possibly be delt, for such a horrendous crime?
