That seems strange. Wonder why the UN would investigate one death in Lebanon but ignore 30,000 deaths in Iraq? Something doesn't seem right here.

Bush did it. Now lock him up!

2. Read here.... it might take the edge off for awhile....


>>A young man, H.Khalaf, was lying on a trolley, soaked in blood. He was shot in his genitals by an American sniper while he was going home from the market just across the street. The shot injured his right thigh, his testes, and went out through his left thigh.

“There was nothing, no shooting, no bombing, nothing” a neighbor who brought Khalaf to the hospital said. “We heard the shot, and he was lying there bleeding. We could not reach him. He crawled to the side street for few minutes”. The doctor does not know yet how bad the injury is. The bleeding was still running.<<

3. No need to investigate it in Iraq
Some Iraqis were shooting at our troops and vice versa, some were innocent civilians that got caught in the crossfire or were accidently shot, some Iraqis were killed by other Iraqis. Individual Iraqis that we targeted and intentionally killed or tortured should definitely be investigated and at least some of them are being investigated. Others we will probably never know about.

No similarities between the two investigations unless you want to investigate our capture of Saddam and I think its pretty clear that we did that so whats to investigate?
