   Tea Party-supported candidates for the House of Representatives, Ilario   
   Pantano in North Carolina, and Allen West in Florida, were both accused   
   of committing, or being involved in war crimes in Iraq.  Pantano was   
   accused of murdering two Iraqi detainees, and West admitted to violating   
   military policy by psychologically torturing of a detainee, who btw did   
   not provide accurate information.  Now before anyone responds to say   
   that I should not condemn Pantano since he was not found guilty of   
   anything, I say that there have been many such war crimes since 09/11 in   
   both Iraq and Afghanistan, and the perpetrators get away with it.   
      
   It is a shame that the USA does not prosecute it's war criminals, but   
   not surprising.  After all many of our Presidential administrations have   
   committed war crimes and no one in any of them was punished.  Robert   
   Macnamera was responsible for the deaths of millions from his   
   involvement in the Vietnam war, and as head of the World Bank, and he   
   walked the streets freely until his death.  Henery Kissinger is wanted   
   for prosecution for crimes against humanity in several nations, but   
   protect him instead of arresting him.  Compared to them, West and   
   Pantano, are insignificant, but it is a shame they have enough support   
   to gain their party's nomination for the House.
