Sounds like a clean shoot.  They had weapons.  We aren't the police.  We
don't even have arrest powers in most cases.  We kill those with weapons.  I
imagine that lots of people in the market lived by laying down and making it
clear they weren't dangerous.

Subject: opinions? sniping at weapons dealers


Am trying to decide what I think of this. Seems like the thing to do would
have been to arrest them but perhaps it was decided that hey there were
weapons there and there was too much danger to soldiers....perhaps
defensible as I guess Iraq is still under military law.

I doubt it made us too many friends in that marketplace however, even
assuming that none of those killed were innocent bystanders.

I'd be interested in hearing from some of the ex-military here as to
whether this is standard operating procedure.
