As a matter of fact, judging the tense situation and the number of GIs in Iraq, the number of these facts is statistically good.
What was weird about it was the way came out to the media just before any martial court had time to be set. Media had information before Pentagone from the soldiers who were supposed to work to get evidence.
This is so weird that I suppose there is some kind of anti-Bush conspiracy among the very close of the president.
Rumsfeld could simply say what I did, but he didn't. What's that suppose to mean ? I supposed this apologies were meant for the Middle East media.
Now if we have to talk about armies of occupation, we could talk about the Soviet army in Eastern Europe and million dead resisting robberies and rapes.
And as far as I remember, there were also everyday problems (rapes, fights and the like) with US army in Germany and no apologies.
