Un-righteous Indignation. Two U.S. soldiers in Iraq have apparently been found dead, their bodies mutilated and boobytrapped. A male relative of one of the dead was indignant about their deaths and wants the killers punished. Hmm. These guys go over 7,000 miles from home to invade a country that never attacked us and get killed for their trouble. Did they kill anybody during their stay? Do we even know? You join the army and go thousands of miles from home into a war zone and get killed? Quel surprise!
