Quote by: RickSp You miss the point entirely. There is no evidence that there were insurgents in the houses where the civilians were shot. The defense attorneys have not suggested, at least not yet, that insurgents were inside. By raising the suggestion of "insurgents within a crowd" strictly as a hypothetical the attorney is creating one possibile defense without having to back it up by fact. A trial ballon before the trial to see how it plays. Pre-trial grandstanding. |
Just FYI; my repeated use of "insurgents within a crowd" is not restricted to this incident. The enemy in this battle slinks among the civilians on as a tactic. They dress as the citizenry does as a norm, not the exception. They purposefully mingle.
