...average and seemingly unavoidable incidents that accompany a significant military presence on foreign soil. In other words, it's one thing to deal with the occasional U.S. serviceman, normally sequestered on a large base, who winds up implicated in a criminal incident such as drunken driving, assault or even murder.

And the reasons for their skepticism were made clear in the recent kidnapping and murder of a 14-year-old and the arraignment of two police officers in the case...
