No one has ventured a guess as an answer to my probing question - "how did this incident happen to appear ON FILM?"

I didn't answer when I read the post in which you first asked this because I think you have mistaken something you've seen as live video of the incident.

The closest to LIVE that I've heard about is speculation that video taken by and unmanned drone that was in the vicinity may contain some evidence. I haven't seen that video or heard anymore than speculation.

I have seen the Iraqi video clip that Time (ABC?) obtained and used to alert the army, but that was the taken after the incident - showing bodies being moved, the inside of a house, etc.

I saw some video of a speeding car being shot, but it wasn't clear to me that it was part of the Haditha incident.

What video are you referring to? How do you know it was LIVE footage of the Haditha incident?

>How eo you know it was LIVE footage of the Haditha incident?<

I saw about three of our vehicles travelling one after the other on a dusty road when the lead vehicle was blown up (not just shot) and was instantly fully on fire. Then came the scenes of the bloody floors of nearby houses with the declaration that families had been wiped out by our Marines after the bombing.
Either this has been completely misrepresented, or our boys acted according the insurgent's habit of hiding in peoples's houses, even dressing as women. God bless our Marines all!
This was certainly presented as live footage of the incident by the narrator.
