    Four U.S. Soldiers Charged in Iraq Prisoner Drowning

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Army has charged four soldiers, three of them with manslaughter, following the drowning of an Iraqi prisoner, while a senior general criticized U.S. military detention policies, officials said on Friday.

    The soldiers were accused of forcing two Iraqis off a bridge into the Tigris River, said Army Lt. Col. Jonathan Withington, a spokesman at Fort Hood, Texas. They had picked up the men on a curfew violation while they were on patrol near the city of Samarra north of Baghdad on Jan. 3. One of the two Iraqis drowned, while the other managed to get out of the river.

      This is the difference between a modern nation and a third world country of savages. We hold our soliders accountable for such actions.

                  I think its funny how the U.S. can go about committing war crimes and no one does shit about it. God Bless George W. Bush and Amerikkka!

                  Often times I wonder why
                  There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                  When sickness comes I must decide:
                  When feelings go, theres suicide.
