So it is no wise idea to pick up weapons and other suspicious material in Iraq, with the intention of giving it to the US troops so that no terrorists get it

Within months of the "baiting" program's introduction, three snipers in Didier's platoon were charged with murder for allegedly using those items and others to make shootings seem legitimate, according to the Post.

In Texas they leave their cash out near the sidewalk and then snipe people who try to steal it, as is their legal right. aaah the famous "right to snipe people"

Iraq would be safer if everyone had guns.

So a defense lawyer has a nice defense. Color me surprised. so killing innocent people based on an action that only an idiot would characterize as evidence is pretty normal for you.

do they get bonuses with that quota?

Again, there is nothing proving this true, just allegations. But I agree, that if it turns out to be true, it is a sad thing.

Normal people do that all the time.

Just yesterday I saw a huge RPG laying around, so I looked at it, and took it to myself. Perfectly normal thing to do.

there's always a small chance that the person picking up the bait is really innocent and stupid

That to me is what makes this horrible. There are always dumb, curious people, who'll see something and look down and examine it. I'm not sure shooting that person without more is something that should be done.

[unishisse]

Thed proposition that someone looking at something left lying about is a terrorist or has done something which justifies shooting and killing them is loopy.

He sees something strange on the ground. He examines it. I guarantee you Iraqi civilians are probably very good at NOT approaching suspicious items at this point.

Though I see you point as gunfire seems to be an excuse to run into the street and jump around.

If, hypothetically speaking, this were true, I think it is wrong to shoot civilians unless it is clear they are attempting to acquire illegal weapons.

Good.

When "their military" dresses in uniform, maybe I'll feel a little differently. Right now, they're S.O.L.
Don't blame us.
