The US Army plans to file charges against two military intelligence officers in the suffocation death of an Iraqi general during questioning in Iraq in November.

According to a Denver Post report on Thursday, negligent homicide and manslaughter charges were being brought against two warrant officers over the death of Iraqi Major General Abid Hamid Mauhush, commander of Saddam Hussein's air forces.

1. I remember him. He died of "Natural causes" during interrogation.
No lame-o jokes for me on this one. Must respect the dead.

3. A GENERAL?
Like, an Army officer General? You would think the Geneva Conventions apply in THIS case.
