The lefties loonies should read this..Three soldiers have been discharged from the US army for mistreating Iraqi prisoners of war, a US paper reported.

They were found guilty of beating and harassing detainees at a detention camp in the south of the country. An internal inquiry found soldiers had thrown prisoners down and kicked them in the head, groin and abdomen in an incident at Camp Bucca last May.
The three soldiers, a woman and two men who said they acted in self-defence, have all returned to the United States.

They had all faced possible courts-martial and could have been sentenced to 25 years in jail for the offences. Each was allowed instead to opt for a hearing without a jury, which cannot impose prison sentences.
