"Among the incidents, he described soldiers kicking the severed head of an Iraqi like a football in Ramadi. "

"The soldier, 27, also told Canada's refugee board he saw a US army squad leader shooting the foot off an unarmed Iraqi man. "

"The army's attitude in Iraq was "just shoot and ask questions later", Mr Key said. "

I saw the report on Newsnight about the "Walk to New Orleans" of the Iraq Vets Against the War group.

I feel sorry for such brave soldiers.

They are indeed, I hope some form of solidarity is organised in their cases.

Like he'll get to stayhere with Harper in power (There's enough overt rightists in the Liberal Party that his position is far safer than many realise.).

Trudeau may not have been a socialist (and for all the hype he gets, Agnes Macphail, Jean Lesage, and Tommy Douglas did a Hell of a lot more for my country), but at least he didn't make a career out of marching to Washington's tune, which is more than can be said of Mulrotten, the Cretin, the Dithering Dimwit, or Little Stevie Blunder.
