#3  ...an Army unit in Iraq temporarily banned the open-tip M118 long-range used by snipers after a JAG officer mistook it for hollow-tip ammunition,

So guys like this are gonna make the call?
And how come it appears okay for the SpecOp guys to already be using it?

#2  Outstanding. A ruling yet on the mercurized ammo the taliban are using? Or whatever it is which has caused some funky after-effects.

#1  international law of war

Which one? The real one or the make believe one made up by activist lawyers and advocates?
