Confession Video: US Soldier Describes Thrill Kill of Innocent Afghans

[JohnyCanuck]

Dressed in a t-shirt and Army shorts, a 22-year-old corporal from Wasilla, Alaska casually describes on a video tape made by military investigators how his unit's "crazy" sergeant randomly chose three unarmed, innocent victims to be murdered in Afghanistan.

Corporal Jeremy N. Morlock is one of five GI's charged with pre-meditated murder in a case that includes allegations of widespread drug use, the collection of body parts and photos of the U.S. soldiers holding the Afghan bodies like hunter's trophies.

5. This is an important question, and one whose answer I don't know.

I wonder if we're really any more inhumane and inhuman than we used to be, or if the reporting and awareness of horrific behavior is just much greater.

Sometimes I think that, to the extent we exist in the electronic realm of computers, TV, text messages and popular culture, we're out of touch with each other as human beings.
