 Investigations of war crimes comes later.  Now is the time to ask our governor & legislature to challenge the obsolete 2002authorization for military action by the Guard in Iraq.  People should be on the phone now (free to Salem leg. 800-332-2313) & tell them you support this challenge in the legislature.  Otherwise some of those Guard members going for a 2nd, 3rd or 4th Iraq tour may succumb to suicide or  PTSD after too many tours, as the research indicates.
