Do you have a link to that story you read? This might be the article that p. henry was talking about:
Iraqis' Accounts Link Marines to the Mass Killing of Civilians
From this story, published yesterday:
Four people who identified themselves as survivors of the killings in Haditha, including some who had never spoken publicly, described the killings to an Iraqi writer and historian who was recruited by The New York Times to travel to Haditha and interview survivors and witnesses of what military officials have said appear to be unjustified killings of two dozen Iraqis by marines.
