Iraq War Criminals Walk Away

On May 9th 2007, Sergeant Sanick De la Cruz received immunity from prosecution in return for testimony in which he said that he had watched Wuterich shoot five Iraqis attempting to surrender. He further stated that he and Wuterich had further fired into the dead bodies - and that he had urinated on one of the dead Iraqis.
"Imagine what we could accomplish if we followed their (US troops) example,"pondered the President in his speech - in a week in which worldwide revulsion was expressed at a video of Marines, allegedly with the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, urinating on dead bodies in Afghanistan.
It was, of course: "behaviour ... not in keeping with the values of the US Armed Forces ... not consistent with our core values (or) indicative of the character of the Marines in our Corps," said a Defence Department spokeswoman.(i).
Ross Caputi, a former Marine who took part in another massacre, in Falluja, exactly a year before Haditha, was sickened at what he saw and experienced, and now campaigns tirelessly for Iraq and for reparation for Falluja. He disputes the Defence Department's sunny view of "core values." LINK.
