BAGHDAD - The U.S. military has cleared a soldier of unlawfully killing an Iraqi civilian after investigators concluded Specialist Nathan Lynn had reason to believe the man was carrying a gun when he opened fire.
Charges were brought against Lynn last month at a time when several murder investigations into U.S. troops in Iraq have prompted questions about their behavior and complaints from the new Iraqi government about a culture of impunity among soldiers.
“The commander ... has withdrawn ... the charges,” a military spokesman said on Saturday. “He is now authorized to rejoin his unit in Pennsylvania.”......... http://tinyurl.com/flrmw | It's sad to me that the left will automatically assume the soldier is guilty of murder, as a Republian will side with the soldier until proven guilty. Of course I'm not mentioning all liberals, but if you goto all Democrat forums, they condemn the soldiers right away. It's sad. Godbless, Tadpole.
