Developing Story by Amy WustrinYou wanted to hear him apologize
Well you got it
Yes you did
For despicable, inexcusable
Unbelievably cruel treatment of Iraqi POWs
But this was not his fault
And this was not Donald Rumsfeld's fault
This was 7 or 8 men and women
Who've got some fucking nerve putting on
A U.S Military uniform.
Were they acting of their own volition?
Was it orders from their immediate superiors?
Time will tell. This is a developing story.
But there is no excuse.
That is why another American Soldier
Who took his oath seiously
Reported these horrendous crimes
And started the process of justice.
The world's policemen *can* police themselves...
But when they don't, they poice each other.
