Travesty? - A US Army

Travesty? - A US Army colonel got tough with an Iraqi Fedayin prisoner - who gave up the names of a couple of fellow thugs who were about to attack the Colonel's unit.

Guess who got in trouble?

The Yankee Pirate has put up this new site, The case against Lt. Col. Allen B. West, to publicize LTColonel West's case:

"Despite all indications that Col. West's actions (firing his pistol AWAY from the dirtbag and scaring him into giving up two other Saddam Fedayeen thugs), thwarted what had been demostrated in previous enounters as being lethal engagements, the Army has seen fit to offer Col. West a 'broken sword' early out or face a courts martial."

Give it a visit. It's eye-opening.
