“Agents from the US bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm agents detained a “suspicious individual” on a Georgia college campus — a guy dressed up in a ninja costume, on his way to a party on campus.

I’ve been hearing a lot about the abuse of the prisoners in Iraq by American troops, and I wasn’t sure what to think of it. Did it happen because these troops weren’t trained properly?
