26MarJustice Prevails: Pentagon Will Not Try 17 G.I.’s involved in Prisoners’ Deaths

WASHINGTON, March 25 - Despite recommendations by Army investigators, commanders have decided not to prosecute 17 American soldiers implicated in the deaths of three prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2003 and 2004, according to a new accounting released Friday by the Army.

Investigators had recommended that all 17 soldiers be charged in the cases, according to the accounting by the Army Criminal Investigation Command. The charges included murder, conspiracy and negligent homicide. While none of the 17 will face any prosecution, one received a letter of reprimand and another was discharged after the investigations.

    Not prosecuting? What are they, the Bush’s version of the Fedayeen?

    In this story Boschwitz said that reinforcing positive developments in human rights is integral to the committee and added, ?though some of you would prefer to dispense with Item 9, it is not sufficient for this body to condemn the abuses but shy away from naming the abusers.?…I think everyone knows who thay are. =p

    Let’s not forget about the British cases either. What ever happened there?…Oh and there’s a new Polish case.
