Well, this is vile. It's from several years ago -- not exactly hot news -- but it did happen.
I haven't seen it reported which MP unit this was, but something tells me it's going to turn out to be a bunch of Reservists.
The charge of "involuntary manslaughter" against these guys for their actions is pretty soft.
Unless the NYT has monkeyed about with the facts, its pretty damning stuff.

If it's the Reservists again, like I think it is, we need to rethink including them in anything important, and we need to retrain. And we need to figure out how these sorry-asses got in and were able to do what they did.
