FORT BLISS, Texas (AP) - Three more soldiers have been accused of assaulting detainees in 2002 at an Afghanistan detention facility where two Afghans died, Army officials said Monday. snip

The soldiers were identified as Sgt. Selena Salcedo and Sgt. Joshua Claus, of Fort Bragg, N.C.; and Sgt. Anthony Morden, of the Army Reserve's 377th Military Police Company in Cincinnati.

Two other members of the 377th, Pfc. Willie Brand and Spc. Brian Cammack, already face charges related to the deaths.

The two men were chained to the ceiling in standing positions, according to the Army reports. Dilawar was maimed over a five-day period, dying with his leg muscle tissue destroyed from blows to his knees and lower body, the reports said.

Habibullah died of a pulmonary embolism apparently caused by blood clots formed in his legs from the beatings, according to a 2004 military report.

2. At Least the Army is doing something

Yes I know everyone would love to see the higher ups in the chain of command get their day in court, but the US Army is at least trying.

While the Marines are only concerned with looking bad so they have let off one Marine by saying he was defending himself from a wounded, unarmed Iraqi. Now they want to let the lieutenant that shot two unarmed Iraqis with 60 rounds, off with the same excuse.

Now just speaking for myself, I sure as hell wouldn't want a platoon leader who was that afraid of unarmed men, to be in command of my platoon. Either the LT is lying, he's a coward, or he's a cold blooded killer.

But what he did wasn't self defense!!!!!
