Thom,

Source please?

That is exactly the kind of behavior that got TNR in trouble. The assumption that US soldiers are psychotic thugs, and that they clearly had done worse things leads to an uncritical acceptance of every story that trashes them. Even a story which had absolutely no basis in fact, like the STB stories, is okay because it goes with your narrative. Leaving aside the fact that such an attitude is obviously not supporting the troops, it also sets you up to bamboozled.
