CNN has seen the photos and says they contradict the official account, but it ain’t just the Marines who can’t get their story straight.
Dan’s post deserves some attention. It’s high time we followed his lead and started cross-checking details, because they appear still to be in a state of flux some 6+ months after the fact.
And you know, sure as shinola, the New York Times isn’t going to do it.
Update: Euphoric Reality says the Marines are being held in shackles. Meanwhile, at Gitmo, we’re afraid to touch their Korans even if we suspect contraband might be hidden inside.

There people were enemy collaborators and were taken out by our people.

It’s a WAR! People die. And yes, some are “innocent.” But all-too-often, the “innocent” are civilian combatants who plot, plan and execute attacks and protect the enemy. And yes, some are children. Vietnam proved that, and Iraq is proving it, too.
If you disagree, think about the hundreds of thousands of “innocent” Japanese who died and were injured when Truman ordered our pilots to drop the A-bombs. That single act ended the war in the Pacific virtually overnight. And it SAVED AMERICAN LIVES!
Saving and preserving AMERICAN lives. That’s what it should REALLY be about. Did you know that we actually pay people CASH when we kill them? For cripes sake!

It is never a good day when innocent life is taken. That being said, until the moderate muslem clerics denounce terrorism and islamic extremism LOUDLY AND WITH AUTHORITY, these terrorists will continue to use the homes of innocent people as safe houses, thus insuring that people will die and that Americans will be blamed. it’s part of their sick plan, and it’s working.

“thus insuring that people will die and that Americans will be blamed. it’s part of their sick plan, and it’s working”
The blaming, apparently is mostly done by our MSM and the Democrat propaganda machines. They rarely blame AlQeada.
Even AlQeada does not criticize us because they are killing innocents too by bombs, and intentionally. Looks like the MSM don’t criticize intentional killing of innocents.

As some of the facts are coming out about Haditha, it is becoming apparent that the MSM has jumped the gun again.
I will wait for the investigation but I suspect that if what I am reading is true, the Marines will be exonerated.

“Marines are being held in shackles” I got that from Michael Savage Show the other day and posted it to all the blogs I frequent. This shouldn’t be, in America. These Marines shouldn’t be tried and convicted without due process by the MSM and the likes of Murtha.
Duty, Honor, Country

There could be a conspiracy in the MSM, especially CNN and AP, in the fabrication of news in Iraq!!!
There seems to be a wave of inaccurate news coming out lately, prior to the California election.
The MSM launched two waves of attack before the California election. One wave is the wave of anticorruption, supported by Boxer, Pelosi, and Hillary, but lost steam after William Jefferson was nailed. The second wave is the atrocity wave, supported by Murtha.
Seems like the MSM is coordinating the DNC is their propaganda attack. When they don’t have good material they falsified them.

Innocents die by Islamafascist hands daily. When terror groups go home and they stand, sit, eat or sleep near other terrorists, and their children, they themselves endanger every single person near them. This is war and they know our armed forces are looking for them. So they hide by dressing as civilians, in houses with kids, guns & bombs at the ready. They tell the children where the IED’s are so they dont set off the bombs while playing. Kids know when to cover their ears, when to duck, what to say when these things happen. Problems arise for these insurgents when the kids cant remember the lies, but our very own MSM will cover for them.
These terrorists of ALL ages know this, and they leak (sometimes 6 months later) the lies they rehearsed so the MSM can run with it. Its absolutely disgusting. Someone should bring suit against one of these smear rags, as it is nothing less than conspiring with the enemy.
I really doubt we will ever know the full truth about Haditha.

Its the new “Dan Rather Paradigm” of journalism: the evidence is questionable, but the story is correct.
