According to a report in the Independent newspaper:
“US soldiers are luring Iraqis to their deaths by scattering military equipment on the ground as “bait”, and then shooting those who pick them up, it has been alleged at a court martial. The highly controversial tactic, which has hitherto been kept secret, is believed to have been responsible for the deaths of a number of Iraqis who were subsequently classified as enemy combatants and used in statistics to show the “success” of the “surge” in US forces.”

People who put out feed for pheasants and then shoot them get a hefty fine here. In a country with such high unemployment, scavaging may be living – oops dying.

Disgusting. Can’t think of anything else to add.

Flimsy – there seems no depths of dishonor to which this administration will not sink.
NYM – fitting enough.
