A lot of carelessness goin' on there. Somebody in the government oughta be hired to proofread contracts, etc, and look for errors like that. Glad the one girl's getting punished. Hope both have to pay restitution, too, even from the estate. And interest. |

The sad thing is that this is nothing special. There are other stories, especially in IRAQ. No wonder the bill for the war is THAT huge. |

Its really sad that the military even let this happen. Personally I think both sides are to blame and should share equal punishment because to let something like that happen makes you wonder what else are they hiding?

and look for errors like that. Who said they were 'errors'? But of course, after they're noticed, they become errors... ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |
