(62,325 posts)would be done about them. I read as much of the war logs relating to the torture etc which did take a little effort, and expected that with such incontrovertible evidence provided by Wikileaks surely something would be done.
If you missed the reporting on those crimes by Wikileaks, then you probably weren't paying attention. The Bush gang's crimes against humanity were confirmed. I would have expected the 'left' at least to have been paying attention.
The outrage over this case is precisely because all those war crimes have been ignored while games are being played over a broken condom or whatever, being there are no charges it's hard to know what it's all about.
But we DO know about the war crimes. We saw the documentary made in Iceland that brought tears to the eyes of people around the world, where the two children whose father, the good samaritan, was murdered and they were both wounded. We also read the apologies from the two US Soldiers, who were heroes that day when the pulled the children out of the car and saved their lives.
How anyone could say they missed the revelations of war crimes, is beyond me, unless they were sleeping.
