No.
Do you think they lied about having been told the families were killed by a roadside bomb? Do you think Time had the house tuckpointed? I posted what's pretty damn hard to lie about. The Marines already did a probe and paid off for the families as collateral damage. Any particular problems with the items I posted?
Paid off the families as collateral damage is a far cry from admitting to atrocities, dontchya think?
Yes, I have a problem with what you've posted. First, Time and the MSM are going by alot of hearsay, mostly Iraqi hearsay, in a town that has been relatively hostile to our troops. I have never trusted Time, and am not about to start now. The NY Times paid an Iraqi reporter/historian to investigate for their bogus little article today. As far as I know, no one in the chain of command has admitted to Murtha's version of the events (Cold blooded murder of women and children). Look at some of the fantastical tales closely: Unarmed folks (women and children too) put into a room and two grenades tossed - that sound like the USMC? An old man in a wheel chair shot point blank in the chest -- sound like the USMC? A little girl who tells 3 different version of how she was spared death. Women kneeling in prayer being executed -- sound like the USMC?
We can all agree something bad happened. But if you put your money on the MSM's version of events before hearing ANY defense arguments, you are foolish.

Iraqi Army soldiers - Iraqi Army soldiers. Evidently the Iraqi Army soldiers were right there. Why can't I find what the Iraqi Army soldiers have to say about this?
