Nothing you can say can change the fact that the marines went in and shot those Iraqis at close range. These innocent Iraqis begged and pleaded and attempted to save their children by shielding them with their bodies and the only one who survived was that little girl.
And all you can say is that the marines are innocent. Well if they are innocent, how did these people die?Haditha is Arabic for My Lai
Afterward, the Marines lied to cover up their actions. The eight helpless men they slaughtered became “insurgents.” The other 15, necessarily “civilians” because of age or sex, they first claimed were also victims of the same IED; later, some were supposed to have been “collateral damage” of a supposed “exchange of gunfire” with said “insurgents.”
Unluckily for them, a journalism student had taken video of the bodies in the Haditha morgue, with images that showed victims shot in the head from close range in execution-style killings.
