I never even knew that Free Republic had moderators until I read this thread. There are comments that had to be removed. Also, note the way the headline is written.

US Soldier ‘Kills 16’ Afghans In Their Homes

This was the original headline: Karzai: US Soldier ‘Assassinated’ 16 Afghans

Here are just a few Freeper comments:

Well, I’d like to know the rest of the story. Young grenadier shooting an M203 HE round into a house where a Terrorist just fled to, full of women and children, would account for such an action.

I refuse to believe, until further proof, that some American soldier just walked in and started killing simply for the sake of killing….however, stranger things have happened, and with the likes of MAJ Hasan, the little fag in the wikileaks case, etc within the ranks, nothing would suprise me.

Methinks the whole story hasn’t been told yet, but if this breaks as hard as it is on Fox/CNN as it is on BBC and Sky News as it is now…..watch out.

He will be allowed to be tried by the Afganis and either stoned to death or beheaded for the world to see the power of Islam, thank you mr president!

Minister of Border and Tribal Affairs Asadullah Khalid, who is investigating the incident, said the soldier entered three homes, killing 11 people in the first one.

Not good enough source, because muslim=liar.

Let’s hear from a non-knuckledragger.

The cover story is this soldier left the barracks on his own early in the morning and began his “rampage”. The media will crucify this guy and the President will hang him out to dry. Hell they will probably call him a terrorist since its an attack on Muslims.

They don’t like it when they get a taste of their own medicine I see…

Nothing is what it appears to be with this administration. I refuse the article pending hard facts from a source independent of the administration that’s not full blown socialist.

Time to pull out of both Iraq and Trashcanistan. Take back everything that we can and blow up everything we cant. If these pigs want to wallow in their own filth,let them. They dont deserve our brave service men and women.

Most Muslims are little more than the apes the Left say we descendant from.

It’s not inconceivable that somebody should snap. But it’s not inconceivable that the MSM is doing what it does best, too.
