| 2005-02-08 |
| There's not much more in the way of details at the link. EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- An Indiana National Guardsman who received a Purple Heart for wounds sustained in Iraq has been charged in the death of an Iraqi citizen, the Army said Tuesday. The Iraqi died at the same time Cpl. Dustin Berg, 21, was wounded, the military said. Berg also faces charges of false swearing and the wearing of an unauthorized award. A hearing was scheduled Thursday at Fort Knox, Ky., to determine whether the case will proceed to a court-martial. The Iraqi died in November 2003 near Nippur, south of Baghdad, said Gini Sinclair, a Fort Knox public affairs officer. She declined to release further details about the case. |

| #2 I suspect at some point cases like this will be turned into a LLL talking point, along with Eason Jordan's fantasies. |

| #1 Blinding Flash of the Obvious [BFO]. There are a number of these actions going on at the moment, getting little attention in the MSM except for the prison case which once the conviction started coming in sort of disappeared off the television. Why? Because it shows that the US military, unlike the vast majority of countries' military and UN General Assembly membership, actually does actively prosecute crimes committed by its personnel. We don't need no stinking international court to do our work or be hijacked into another anti-american circus. However, it would not serve the MSM and their loving transnationalists agenda to actually reveal that. |
