This is shocking.

US veteran who killed unarmed Iraqis wins Tea Party support

Ilario Pantano, who is standing as a Republican candidate in North Carolina’s 7th congressional district in the US midterm elections.

The basic facts are undisputed: on 15 April 2004 Ilario Pantano, then a second lieutenant with the US marines, stopped and detained two Iraqi men in a car near Falluja. The Iraqis were unarmed and the car found to be empty of weapons.

Pantano ordered the two men to search the car for a second time and then, with no other US soldiers in view, unloaded a magazine of his M16A4 automatic rifle into them, before reloading and blasting a second magazine at them – some 60 rounds in total.
