Maybe the top brass read my previous post. OK, probably not , but their actions are consistent with my view of things.

And that is EXACTLY what happened!

The Wall Street Journal’s copy of the story offers the most complete details of any MSM report I read. (paid subscription required) Their report mentions Kandahar Gov. Asadullah Khalid expressed confidence in the results of the investigation. Of course some Islamic clerics were critical of the findings, but we knew that would happen. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has ordered his own investigation, that is not yet complete. The WSJ report also mentions that Geneva Convention rules allow the burning of bodies for hygienic reasons. I don’t feel these Taliban are covered by any special rules, given they don’t acknowledge the rules themselves, unless it favors them! Just the same I still don’t feel the burning should have happened and you can read the details in my prior post.

As past readers know, fellow Conservative Blog Euphoric Reality was not happy that the soldiers were being scrutinized at all. Euphoric Reality stands by that original position and has the right to do so, although I respectfully disagree. That blog has more details about the findings.
