GREENSBURG, Kan. --

Four Fort Riley soldiers and a reserve police officer were arrested on Sunday for allegedly looting cigarettes and alcohol from a store in Greensburg. Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting, the state's adjutant general, said the soldiers and reserve police officer were not part of any official detachment.

She said all five were in uniform, so police allowed them to come and go freely despite a curfew in the town.

In a separate incident, two people wearing Red Cross jackets who were not members of the Red Cross were arrested for allegedly looting. Watson said she did not have any additional details.

1. Will FOX harp on this like they did about black Katrina victims "looting" milk & bread? nt

2. They will somehow turn it into a "positive" story..

Like they were taking those items to give to the survivors, so they would not feel the pain on flosing everything??

3. Are you kidding me??????????

I talked to a friend on Saturday; she has two kids in Greensburg who lost everything. We both agreed that there wasn't much point in a curfew because there wasn't anything to loot because of the total destruction. This really takes the cake.....
