Rumsfeld on 'kill team' photos: 'Much worse' than Abu Ghraib

Of course they are. But do you hear the outcry from the left about this going all the way to the top? Nope. Crickets. Wonder why? More hyprocrisy from the left, that's why.

Anyone from the left want to lay out how this is different this time around?

I hope these servicemen are punished to the fullest extent of military law as they give all servicemen a bad name. Murder is murder, regardless of where it occurs.

Rolling Stone published horrific photos reportedly taken by members of the U.S. Military who allegedly were part of what is being called the "Kill Team." These individuals have been described by the Army, according to Rolling Stone, as a "rogue unit" operating completely on its own, "without the knowledge of its superiors.”

It is possible that the unidentified deaths are unrelated to 3rd Platoon, and involved no illegal acts by U.S. soldiers. But taking such photos, let alone sharing them with others, is a clear violation of Army standards.

Even if such unidentified bodies were enemy combatants rather than innocent civilians, their inclusion in the collection of photos bespeaks a shocking disregard for human life.

I am not sure how a person gets callous enough that death does not bother them, but this "story" is based on some pretty poor journalistic investigative standards..

allegations of serious wrongdoing mingled with gruesome images and then fed to the public in a context that one would draw a conclusion not necessarily supported by facts..


below are nine of the 18 gruesome photos.. (they used creative writing to make them seem worse)...
