Letter: Turnabout, sir?

Editor, Daily News:

The letter from Michael Rodriguez in the Daily News on Monday lists war crimes allegedly committed by U.S. troops in Haditha, Ishaki, Hamdaniya and Samarra, Iraq. He closes by stating: "These murders are war crimes and must be punished as such."

It saves us the trouble of a trial, doesn't it?

But wait. No mention of beheadings, roadside bombs, suicide bombers in marketplaces (allegedly?) by the enemy in their quest to slaughter the innocent.

No mention of the executed or thankfully exposed terrorist plots at home and abroad. It is the typically twisted, liberal la-la land letter to the editor our bloodthirsty foes salivate over.

If you're picking and choosing atrocities, Mr. Rodriguez, you can start with the militant jihadists. Or don't the ones that want you dead count?
