Searle: <For this reason, the US soldiers have no right whatsoever to shoot Iraqi civilians, or even soldiers for that matter.>

How about this:

<<According to the March 29 issue of The New York Times, Schrumpf and his fellow sharpshooters sometimes hold their fire when a lot of civilians are in the vicinity. But when fewer civilians are around, they fire away.

Schrumpf recalled one incident where an Iraqi soldier was standing near a woman.

"I'm sorry, but the chick was in the way," he said.

Schrumpf was philosophical to the point of being blasé about civilians "in the way." He said, "We dropped a few civilians, but what do you do?">>

I guess this 'chick' isn't going to be one of the liberated Iraqis...
