`d like to thank the a.p. for trying to help the jihadists`s rationalize slaughtering u.s. troops and civilians....
""Four decades ago in Vietnam, anti-U.S. fighters were also put on trial and put to death, as in Iraq today. But U.S. forces didn’t help for long.
In the mid-1960s — the early days of the U.S. involvement in Vietnam’s civil war — the U.S.-allied South Vietnamese government prosecuted and executed Viet Cong guerrillas, including some captured and handed over by U.S. troops.
In 1965, however, Radio Hanoi announced that a captured U.S. Army sergeant had been executed in reprisal for the Viet Cong deaths. The U.S. command soon stopped handing over Viet Cong prisoners to the South Vietnamese government.
“The Viet Cong informed us that they would begin executing U.S. prisoners if we continued to facilitate the South Vietnamese executions, and we had reason to believe them,” said Gary D. Solis, a Georgetown University law professor who served as a U.S. Marine lawyer in Vietnam.
In Iraq, too, insurgents have captured and killed U.S. soldiers, but thus far have not linked their fate to that of captured Iraqi insurgents facing a possible death penalty.""
but,the a.p is trying to help them establish that link,aren`t...providing a primer........
its obvious what the a.p. is doing....they are giving tips to the enemies of the united states.....and making a moral equivalence between evil terrorists and soldiers working to stop the evil terrorists.....
plain and simple....and morally reprehensible
prosecution and execution vs capture and kill(in the most horrible fashion imaginable).....no prosecution...no trial at all...
and no mention of the deliberate murder of innocents....
what was daniel pearl`s crime?...when was HIS trial?...
what a bunch of morons....no wonder this article went unsigned...
