Like It Wasn't Hard Enough to Recruit Enlistees for the Iraqui National Guard
A North Carolina National Guard member thought to be the first U.S. soldier convicted of murdering an Iraqi said he "snapped and shot the 17-year-old boy after they had consenual sex, according to court-martial records released this week.
[Pvt. Federico Daniel] Merida was sentenced Sept. 25 to 25 years in prison and reduced in rank. He will be dishonorably discharged.
Maj. Robert Carver, a spokesman at the N.C. National Guard's Raleigh headquarters, said Guard leaders here knew little about the case. He said that if there was anything positive about the unpleasant case it was that it should serve notice to Iraquis about how justice should work.
Somehow, I don't think they're going to see it that way.

The summer of mayhem and sodomy began in the winter of '04? Some folks just can't wait until it's time...
And I don't see why this guy couldn't wait. It's not like we're not going to be in Iraq this summer. Some people, always jumping the gun: I bet he opens his presents on Christmas Eve, too.
