A U.S. soldier killed 5 other U.S. soldiers at a clinic at Camp Liberty on the outskirts of Baghdad. Sgt. John Russell, a communications specialist, had been sent to the clinic for stress control.
Russell has been charged with five counts of murder and 1 count of aggravated assault. He first joined the military in 1988 and has completed three tours in Iraq. He received several medals and commendations during the time period.
You probably haven't heard about this story because the media has been very busy discussing Twitter, Carrie Prejean, Drew Peterson, and whatever Angelina Jolie did this week.

You are so right. I went to high school with one of those soldiers. No one here heard about it. The day of his funeral a motorcycle group from the VFW drove through town with the casket. Cops were posted around town on the route. When traffic got stopped the person who was in my car was talking about the John and Kate Plus 8 divorce scandal.
