text: marine gets 18 month sentence for premeditated murder!? http://www.cnn.com/2006/world/meast/11/16/hamdaniya.sentencing/index.html  wouldnt he have gotten a death sentence for killing a white person?  why does our military have no sense of morality? what is really interesting to me is how this is downplayed in our media. this story didn't even qualify as a blip on the radar screen of the network media.   just like the story about the american soldier who raped the 14 year old iraqi girl and then killed her and her family to cover it up. not a blip. i had to hear about it on bbc.   not only does our military have no morality, our media has no integrity!
