   [1]So what?

     One day in January 2005, an elderly couple was driving down a road
     in Mosul, Iraq, when without realizing it they passed through a
     makeshift US military checkpoint. The checkpoint, recalled a
     sergeant who came upon the scene, was "very poorly marked." Yet, he
     said, the soldiers "got spooked" and opened fire. The bodies of the
     couple sat in the car for three days, the sergeant said, "while we
     drove by them day after day."

   [2]Heck, what's another million.
