The report, published in October and titled "Rogue G.I.'s Unleashed Wave of
Terror in Central Highlands," said that in 1967, an elite unit, a
reconnaissance platoon in the 101st Airborne Division, went on a rampage
that the newspaper described as "the longest series of atrocities in the
Vietnam War."
"For seven months, Tiger Force soldiers moved across the Central Highlands,
killing scores of unarmed civilians - in some cases torturing and mutilating
them - in a spate of violence never revealed to the American public," the
newspaper said, at other points describing the killing of hundreds of
unarmed civilians.
"Women and children were intentionally blown up in underground bunkers," The
Blade said. "Elderly farmers were shot as they toiled in the fields.
Prisoners were tortured and executed - their ears and scalps severed for
souvenirs. One soldier kicked out the teeth of executed civilians for their
gold fillings."

Speaking of which, the GOP has now pretty much kicked the teeth out of
today's Democrat Party.
But there's still a little life left in the Party of Ted Kennedy. For
example, have you listened to Kerry's recent vitriolic attacks on Howard
Dean? It's quite interesting to watch and listen to the Democrat Party
these days......

elections.
