BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP)- The U.S. military has dismissed all charges against a Pennsylvania National Guardsman accused of killing an unarmed Iraq civilian near Ramadi, finding that the soldier had reason to believe the man had a weapon.

Spc. Nathan Lynn, 21, of South Williamsport, Pa., was accused of voluntary manslaughter and conspiracy to obstruct justice over the death of Gani Ahmed Zaben during a Feb. 15 raid on a suspect's house.

Lynn will return to his unit soon, U.S. military officials in Baghdad said Sunday.

1. Excellent in what way?

just curious. Is this a case of accurate justice, or a case of crimes against iraqis not being as important as crimes against other peoples?
what are you celebrating?
