Too late again

The US is trying to limit the international damage caused by US military personnel being taped burning the bodies of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. Saying that the acts were “isolated incidents”, “the military immediately launched an investigation”, and “the perpetrators will be prosecuted according to military law” sounds just like responses to the scandals at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo – cover ups will be the official result. How about some real corrective action for a change? Destroy the culture of inhumanity condoned by extremists in the military and the Bush administration by firing or jailing them!
