Yahoo! News - Army Probing Assaults, Thefts by U.S. Troops in Iraq
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Army is investigating reports of assaults against Iraqi civilians and thefts of their money and jewelry by U.S. troops during patrols, raids and house searches, defense officials said on Monday.

The probe by the U.S. Army's Criminal Investigation Division, or CID, suggests that a major scandal over abuse of Iraqi prisoners by Americans goes beyond detention centers into the homes and streets of the troubled country.
"There are a number of criminal investigations by the Army into allegations of assault, theft and other issues that extend beyond the investigations into activities at detention facilities," Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman said.

You might not want to be thought of as a conquering cowboy with the scruples of Ghengis or Attilah. Think again America, because that's what so many think of you. Go ahead, stay the course and reinforce everyone's perception. My god, I'd support Pat Buchanan just to get rid of this S&M show living in the White House. It's that bad, really.
