Probe Finds Haditha Killings Unprovoked

A preliminary military inquiry found evidence that U.S. Marines killed two dozen Iraqi civilians in an unprovoked attack in November, contradicting the troops’ account, U.S. officials said on Wednesday.

President George W. Bush said he was troubled by news stories on the November 19 killings of men, women and children in the town of Haditha, and a general at the Pentagon said the incident could complicate the job for the 130,000 U.S. troops in Iraq.

“Allegations such as this, regardless of how they are borne out by the facts, can have an effect on the ability of U.S. forces to continue to operate,” Army Brig. Gen. Carter Ham, deputy director for regional operations for the military’s Joint Staff, told a Pentagon briefing.

I haven't logged onto FR lately without tightly clasping my rosary in my other hand.

I keep trying to figure out what's happened to FR lately but can't come up with a reasonable answer. It's like entering a war zone.

I read the article and did not see language saying a probe had completed, and that its conclusion was the attack was unprovoked. Did I miss something?

A wise decision, AmeriBrit. This IS a war zone........a spiritual war zone.

I am with you on the rosary clenching. I keep one by the computer, and reciting a decade or two when I come across stuff like this is what keeps me from saying things I shouldn't.

There is a great deal of evil percolating through the forum. It wears many faces, but all of it comes from the ultimate source.

More prayers for this forum are needed. We are in a spiritual war.

Wow, a new "scandal" about US troops, written in our press?

Shocking, I wonder when they will start using words like atrocity, about the Islamic cults who have been blowing up innocents with impunity for decades?

It seems they are consistently said to be "winning" when they target civilians.

I support these soldiers and somehow, a bunch of self righteous posters accused me of being in league with the devil.

The personal attacks on me have gone above and beyond the very few posts I did about Laura and W. When I talk to people in my life, even when they disagree with me, I don't automatically think they are evil. Call me a WWJD type Christian.
