That video is a joke. It was obviously edited and gives no frame of context as to the events surrounding the shooting. And the interview with the soldier involved was HILARIOUSLY edited, BTW.

As for the Iraqi prisoners being raped, I'll have to see the pictures to believe them, and even if any Iraqi soldiers were killed in American hands 1) They were Iraqi soldiers, not civilians 2) There is absolutely no evidence that it happened. I still cannot BELIEVE that you are defending the beheading of that civilian considering what we know right now, and you lean on speculation to do so. Thats honestly disgusting, IMO.

As for Halliburton, I'm leaning towards your opinion in that matter.

Keep in mind that this is coming from conservative news source also. It talks about how Halliburton has done business with Libya and Iran while still receiving public funds from the US. Thats awful. This article is prior to 9/11/01, and I'd like to see if this changed afterwards, but even so its still awful.
