First, I want to salute Mr. Mark Kraft, his courage and his honesty for bringing this story.
I read every available religion book to show me the path where can I find justice, history books to see when does all started, Philosophy books to discover how to achieve it and I failed to find the answer.
This why I joined the International committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), my goal was to find the answer to this question.
Through this journey, I learned many things (not the answer) and this is one of them:
There are no nationalities, countries and groups. There are no bad Americans, good Americans, bad Iraqis and good Iraqis.
There are bad people, good people, liars, honest ….etc, for me every human being is transparent I don’t look at their faces or their origins, I just look through them to their souls and their aura.
“I am just trying to find the answer”.
They [the pictures] indicate that a group of U.S. soldiers planted weapons — the same weapon, in fact — in front of killed, wounded, and captured Iraqi kids. I cannot authenticate whether Mr. Hersh is correct and that the teens in question were innocent or not, but clearly, something significant is amiss. At the very least, it indicates how uncertain the situation is over there. Our soldiers literally do not know who the enemy is, and apparently are willing to manipulate the evidence in order to justify their actions.
The pictures were taken with a digital camera in Buhriz, Iraq on Oct. 22nd, 2004, and their file names are numbered, apparently from the digital camera in question. They show the basics for you: no weapons in the first photos, then weapons inserted into the pictures later.
It appears to me that these teenagers are not insurgents, in that they showed no signs of having either weapons or wearing khafiyas, or headscarves, which are typically used as a kind of uniform by insurgents, as displayed in the Associated Press photos below. To me, the whole situation is indicative of the terrible uncertainty of the conflict, where everyone is a potential insurgent, and where that fear and uncertainty leads to a situation where U.S. soldiers try to manipulate the reality of the situation.
It’s also worth noting that medical treatment was apparently not offered until shown in the later pictures, leading me to wonder whether the assistance, in itself, was part of the “staged” element of these photos.
Read the rest and see the images here
(Thank you Nadia)

As an average American, trying to find meaning in Iraq War since no WMD’s have been found, it led me here. I agree with Sgt. who said above that liberating people from dictator was good. However, I’m puzzled why we didn’t stop Saddam years ago, also i’m puzzled that in some ways we did create the little monster proping him up in Iraq and Iran war.
I support our troops, but in essence, with no disrespect, they are our leaders peons, or perhaps a better way to say it their goto guys in times of trouble against “their enemies”.
I say “their enemies” cause there is alot let’s say “backroom” dealings documented on the internet that our government at the highest levels have been involved in, drug money laundering, arms, propping up certain gov against other gov’s, etc… all in the name of “greed” in essence. However, they won’t come out and say it that way, but “big money” does make the world go round and the bigwigs are calling the shots.
Whether you like how they shape the world or not , and whether it’s constitutional or not they will protect their investments and buy politicians off to accomplish them.
Some call it conspiracy theories, but I’m telling you nobody in their right mind could make up all this stuff.
Just type in “Politicians and money laudering” in Google and you will see what I mean. Follow the “money trails” as rush limbaugh likes to say.
Most Americans don’t even have a clue how corrupt probably every gov in the world is to some extent.
Thank God, he is, and will set us pitiful humans straight one day.

hah! whaddaya know? an “illegal” war?! makes ya wonder who’s going to arrest the perpetrator. anyway, my guess is that the combined testicular fortitude of all the sissified critics of our soldiers gathered on this joke of a blog wouldn’t equal that of even one of our FEMALE soldiers. if you think mustering the cajones to go to Iraq to fight for our ungrateful, rapidly declining “democracy” is a walk in the park, then i’d love to see you take that walk for just one 24hr period.
i think it’d be far easier to just shut up and pray for our soldiers—it’s the least they deserve.

Brengard. What you said makes no sense at allll, if you knew the writings of Islam a little more, (but I guess your IQ of 149 doesn’t include any knowledge of Islam)you would know that it states do not do harm to others unless they have harmed you. So maybe they felt threatened? Anyway I don’t believe that these people wanted us “dead” they wanted to make their point. Well anyway, check out the website above, http://www.911proof.com/ . It has a lot of interesting facts.
