Is this the AP or a Brit newspaper compiling news from AP sources. It is just written very badly ...like a tabloid.
Funny thing about these types of stories...
Even IF these Marines are cleared on all charges, the "story" is already out there to do damage.
John Murtha knows this. The AP knows this. Newsweek knew it when they printed up the "Koran desecration" story.
Whether this horrible story is true or not will be a footnote. The pebble has already been thrown into the lake, and the ripples on the water will lap against their intended audience.
It says ap at the bottom. Pulled off the ap wire service by the local paper I guess. ap is no better than al-jazeera.
