Reuters : U.S. Soldiers Seek Congress Probe of Discharge

"Three U.S. soldiers who were discharged this month for punching and kicking Iraqi prisoners of war said on Friday they would appeal the decision and want Congress to investigate the incident.

Army Master Sgt. Lisa Girman, 35, Staff Sgt. Scott McKenzie, 38, and Spec. Timothy Canjar, 21, told a news briefing they planned to rejoin the army but wanted first to clear their names of charges they said were blown out of proportion by commanders with a grudge against Girman.

'We are soldiers, good soldiers with spotless records,' Girman said. 'To accept it -- it's just not in our hearts.' "
