WASHINGTON - Military investigators piecing together what happened in the Iraqi town of Al-Hadithah on Nov. 19, 2005 -- when Marines allegedly killed two dozen civilians -- have access to video shot by a pilotless aircraft that was circling overhead for at least part of that day, military defense attorneys familiar with the case said in interviews.
It is unclear whether the video obtained from that day's flight captured the violence, said the attorneys, who have consulted with Marines who were there. One attorney said investigators have reviewed surveillance footage taken hours after the shootings, which showed the Marines returning to the town to remove the bodies of the Iraqis.
Monday, Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said charges will be issued if the evidence merits it. For now, ``it would be premature for me to judge'' the outcome of the two U.S. military investigations, Pace said on CBS's ``The Early Show.''

Those honest peace-lovers? Nah.
Did the Marines also stop to chop off limbs?

How do we know those people weren't killed before the bomb went off? These guys are innocent and Turda is guilty.

Well, I'll ahve to admit that AJ is about as accurate as the US MSM. LOL
We know VERY little, except that the initial after action reports were supposedly inaccurate. How that equates to cold blooded murder of women and children is not quite clear yet. Murtha says the pressure made them snap, but I'm sure a more thorough explanation will be coming soon..
Do you believe that the Iraqi Army soldiers were in Haditha with the Marines as reported?
If you have a ping list for this, I'd appreciate being on the list.
The Stone-age Press claimed that Rove was guilty of perjury with less than this. If people are going to speculate their guilty, I can speculate their innocent on the same lack of info.
This is how the Rats Support the Troops!

I do. Your on, and it's available on my profile along with the list of Haditha threads.
Good.
But there are more and more questions that certainly don't help the Marines.
And don't forget who would rejoice if this were true.
Murtha's clan AND the jihadis.
They are cut of the same cloth.
Thank you.
Outstanding! A sea blessin' for ya- "May all you betray, stay well an aweigh...until the day... Master Davy claims his own." My apology, for givin' ya the lubber's graceful version, you deserved it nonetheless.
And that Bush lied about his National Guard service, that Cheny was tanked when he shot that lawyer, that a massacre happened at an innocent Iraqi wedding party, etc, etc, etc...
Period, dot, Bingo!
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Yep. I gotta run. Way past chow time. See you soon
I have no idea. All I've seen regarding that ie Iraqi civilian testimony, and I've ignored that.
Ciao.
LOL, never mind then.
In done for the night. Tomorrow starts early for me. Please ping me to anything good.
<yawn>
