Now, there's two ways for you to make that statement:
1. You actually have inside knowledge on this investigation because you have participated in it. In that case, you're just committing a major OPSEC and/or JAGMAN violation.
2. You don't have inside information, you're just making assumptions that may or may not be correct.
Which one?
Furthermore if one understands the situation on the ground in Haditha it is also very well known that insurgents have found safe havens there - Plain and simple -
Now the MSM has tried to paint a picture over the last week that these victim's were completely innocent and had no reason whatsoever to get caught up in any of this situation.
I am clearly pointing out that is BS. This was a LOS IED (which means it was detonated within a short distance of where it went off and from a "safe zone") - These houses fall clearly into that category.
I now know that a child within these homes openly admits to knowing of said IED! - I also know another child has come up with 3 versions of her own truth -
I furthermore know that Marines are not actively out killing innocent Iraqi's....They are out there saving their lives..and giving theirs ....and/or risking their own lives hundreds of times a week.
Now does that mean a few of these Marines didn't go through the roof after this IED attack? No, it clearly looks as if they did (to the degree they went and was that justified is currently under investigation)....but the notion that these were all innocent victims who had no reason to be in this situation is utter BS! (They clearly knew an IED was planted....which puts them 100% involved).
