WASHINGTON - The Army has decided to charge a 1st Armored Division officer with murder in the May 21 death of an Iraqi civilian who was wounded during a high-speed chase, then shot again at close range, an Army official said Wednesday.


The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Army's Criminal Investigation Division has not yet publicly announced its decision, said the 1st Armored captain will be charged soon.


The officer's name was not disclosed.


The U.S. Central Command announced on June 4 that the case was being investigated but provided few details. It said the matter involved a potential violation of U.S. rules of engagement which govern the use of deadly force.

1. I'm reminded

Of Martin Sheen in Apocolypse Now, "Charging a guy with murder in this place is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500"

I'm sick of this throw someone to the wolves to keep the dissidents at bay mentality...
