4 US soldiers reprimanded
Two US soldiers have been reprimanded for burning the remains of Taliban fighters and two for using the incident to try to incite other fighters into battle, the US military said Saturday.
The incidents, which surfaced on Australian television in mid-October, angered many in Afghanistan. The burning of bodies violates the tenets of Islam and the US image here is already tarnished by abuse of detainees.
