Rumsfeld Defends the Troops

While some people act as if our troops are already guilty of war crimes against civilians, the Defense Secretary is on the offensive:

U.S. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Friday defended the training and conduct of U.S. troops and said incidents like an alleged massacre of Iraqi civilians should not happen.
"We know that 99.9 percent of our forces conduct themselves in an exemplary manner. We also know that in conflicts things that shouldn't happen, do happen," he said.

Plus, he's not commenting much so not to hurt the military's chance to defend itself, unlike some people:

While he said he cannot comment on the investigation because it could taint the case, he said, "We don't expect U.S. soldiers to act that way, and they're trained not to."

Other's, if they are true patiots, should give our troops the benefit of the doubt, but then they couldn't hurt President Bush and the war effort.
