Tejek, no criminal charges agsinst the American soldier that murdered an Iraqi prisoner. And no charges against Private London either. Both are free.
No criminal charges. Both are free. Unbelievable.
Private London is free. So is the American solider free, that killed an Iraqi prisoner under his 'care.' No criminal charges.
Both murderers and abusers are free.
Is that American justice?
It took Bush quite awhile, but he finally got around to apologizing. But that apology rings hollow, when they let murderers and abusers go free.
"Bush Sorry for Abuse of Iraqi Prisoners

The news tells you there are 3 deaths being investigated. What they don't focus on, is how an American soldier was released without any criminal charges for murdering one of the three prisoners under the soldier's 'care.'
Where's the news on this? Where's the news on the fact the military's procedures allow for our soldiers to murder prisoners and get away with it?
You know what the American soldier's "punishment" was for murdering his prisoner? He was "released from duties." Wow, what a great way to get home early to your family - just murder an Iraqi prisoner and they'll let you go home quicker. No criminal punishment whatsoever. Go figure. This obviously is a procedure problem that reflects on the military's management procedures. Who is in charge of procedures that allow people to kill prisoners without punishement?
Bush's apology rings hollow, when procedures do not prosecute murderers.
On another note, I see Private London's punishment (the female soldier in the photos) was to be reassigned to another military position in the USA. Wow. So, if you abuse prisoners, you get to go home, be free, and continue to be employed by the military and paid by taxpayers, rather than being prosecuted for charges of abuse.
Bush's apology rings hollow, when procedures allow abusers to be reassigned to jobs in the USA, without criminal prosecution.
No wonder something like 20% of all women have been raped in the USA military. The procedures allow for this to happen: no criminal prosecution for rapists whether the victim is a prisoner or your own soldiers.
That sends a strong message to the troops saying it's okay to rape soldiers or prisoners.
Maybe their survey should have also included how many male soldiers have been raped.
There was no criminal prosecution of Private London. Nor the soldier that murdered a prisoner. Both are free. Neither are in jail. This is unbelievable. Where is the outcry on this?
It's one thing if an isolated situation occurs where a soldier murders a prisoner and is prosecuted for it. It's completely another thing if the system procedures allow for a soldier to murder a prisoner and the system allows for it by not criminally prosecuting.
Saying "sorry", when your procedures do not criminally prosecute abusers and murderers, is a mockery of justice.
The murderer is free, while the abuser Private London is free. Both are free. Is that American justice?
Where on earth is the outcry for allowing abusers and murderers to go free?
Bush's apology is a mockery of America's justice.
