Army suit says soldier stole Iraqi sheik's SUV
FORT CAMPBELL — On the edgy streets of Mosul, Iraq, an expensive, late-model Toyota Land Cruiser would have been a rare — and altogether easy — vehicle to spot a year ago.

Just such a sport utility vehicle is at the heart of a wartime carjacking case now pending against an American soldier, Sgt. 1st Class James Williams. At least one soldier has already pleaded guilty to robbery, but Williams' attorneys contend their client did nothing wrong, except perhaps to pick a target that belonged to someone with plenty of political clout.

1. Did nothing wrong?
So according to this guy it's ok to steal from those not politically connected? No wonder the they hate us.
