An absolutely horrendous article in today's Washington Post.
A Pentagon group has encouraged some U.S. military snipers in Iraq to target suspected insurgents by scattering pieces of "bait," such as detonation cords, plastic explosives and ammunition, and then killing Iraqis who pick up the items, according to military court documents.Uh, I'd pick up ammunition if I saw it lying on the ground. Hell, my friend Matt and I thought we found a spent bullet out back of his house yesterday, and we picked it up. And God knows, any kid most certainly would pick that kind of thing up. I feel like I'm reading about the horrible things the Soviets did in Afghanistan. Tell me again whose side we're on?
