ABC News has obtained an interview with the sole survivor, 12-year-old Safa Younis. The interview was done by a local Iraqi journalism student about one week after the killings on Nov. 19, 2005.

Hey Velvetta! Long time no talk -- hope you are well... I followed your link to the Reuters Alert story and noticed something very, very interesting...

At the bottom of the story right after they list the dead there are pictures showing about 7-8 dead children on a blanket. Seeing as these pictures are on this page one might assume that these must be pictures of the ones who died in Haditha. HOWEVER, if one reads the caption one finds that these children were killed when a boat overturned and it is not in anyway related to the story about the marines.

I'm not automatically suggesting that Reuters listed these pictures purposely with this story (they are listed in a preview box titled "Latest pictures") but it is an awful coincidence showing dead iraqi children under this story. And, seeing as these "latest" pictures at the bottom don't update these pictures will be on this page as long as the story is... Hopefully people reading the article at this site will read the caption, but I think Reuters knows as well as I that many don't/won't and will assume that these are pictures related to the article -- I did at first glance.

You know, with all the muck around this story one begins to wonder just who is running the show over in the media... I for one just hope justice is served no matter where the chips fall. As for Murtha -- it's unbelievable that he forgets we are in the US where you are INNOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY. I guess that's only until it serves to promote your agenda.

Thanks much for your links... (o:
