[E. Pluribus Unum]

Regardless of what did or did not happen at Haditha- the president should have been informed that civilians died- and an investigation was underway.

Civilians are killed every day in Iraq.

Have you ever heard of the term "delegation?"

Do you have any idea how screwed up an organization gets when its leaders do not trust their subordinates to do their jobs?

Is the President supposed to jerk his knees every time the press or a renegade politician trump some story up?

I don't believe the president needs to be informed everytime cilvilians are killed in Iraq- my thoughts were more about how soon after Murtha made his accusations the president was told..

I probably was unclear in my first couple of posts on this.

My son was a combat soldier in Iraq- so while my understanding of situations on the ground is not personal- he's given me some perspective:)
