American's army justice system is a joke...

People, please go read BBC's Q&A about Iraq abuse charges, it is pathetic. It says "the most severe punishment that can be imposed is a year in prison." What the (f-beep)? Those assholes treated the prisoners like bunch of dogs and the most severe punishment, if they get it, is one year in prison? no seriously, what the (f-beep)? It also mentions that "in a previous court martial, a soldier who shot dead an Iraqi prisoner who was allegedly throwing stones was found guilty of murder at a court martial, reduced in rank and discharged. He did not serve any time in prison." So he WAS charged with murder right? so why the f-beep didnt he serve any time in prison? you see folks, people around the world hear these stories, and all they can think is "those bastard Americans." Now I know for a fact that at least half of Americans are good, caring, reasonable, and world-loving people. But it is the other half that has destroyed the US's image in the past 30-40 years. I guess it is now up to the good half to kick Bush administration the heck out of office and start undoing the damage done in the past few years. I just hope enough Americans realize in time that they need to get rid of Bush.
