How innocent are the 'innocents' at haditha ?(the cover-up by the MSM lynch mob )
Democracy Project ^ | June 4, 2006 | Bruce Kesler

Posted on 06/05/2006 4:42:06 AM PDT by IrishMike

These two children in neighboring houses in Haditha tell heart-rending stories of Marines brutally killing their relatives.

Yet, Iman reveals in one interview that she knew in advance of the IED that would explode to kill the passing Marines. If the child knew, isn’t it likely their adults knew? Isn’t it likely that they may have more than knew?

The unnamed interviewer doesn’t follow-up, any more that the earlier “Iraqi journalism student” did. Anymore than the many MSM remote reporters and commentators who so frequently repeat the childrens’ likely tutored comments.

For example, here’s the ABC narrative:

May 28, 2006 — After a small group of Marines stormed the Younis family home in Haditha last November, everybody inside was killed — except one person.

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….

On the new tape shot by an Iraqi journalism student and given to ABC News by the Hammurabi Human Rights Group in Iraq, Younis, soft-spoken, with rounded cheeks and a headscarf, begins by calmly telling the interviewer, "My name is Safa Younis. I'm 12 years old." The interviewer asks, "What did the American soldiers do when they broke into the house?"

"They knocked at the door," Younis says. "My father went to open it, they shot him dead from behind the door, and then they shot him again after they opened the door."

I do not know if Haditha was a war crime, and neither does anyone else at this point. But intentional killing of civilian bystanders is a violation of US military law and should WILL be prosecuted when it happens.

Agreed ... the dems and their media accomplices are showing altogether too much devilish delight in this stuff ... the piling on will backfire.

The "U.S. Marines = monsters" motif is hardly a political winner.

If it's true that this 12 year-old girl knew of this impending attack,then she certainly wasn't alone!This IED couldn't have been detonated remotely.Someone had to be nearby to trigger it!!

Like most over played underhanded tactics the libs have tried thus far, the MSM will try cover their a#s ..........but it won't work.
Because despite the drumbeat about Bush poll numbers, congress is lower and the MSM have lost the trust of the American public.

PS: Nice work last Friday regarding the post -underground chemicals / Iraq.

She said she knew, and she said she wants Americans 'out of Iraq'!!!!!!! Little 12 year old girl knows a lot and has political opinions to boot.
Smell a rat ??? Set the trap !!

I learned that the type of IED used could not have been remotely detonated which means that someone had to be there to trigger it.Whoever that was could have been seen fleeing to a house by The Marines!This whole thing is horrible but I;m standing by The Marines!!They have what amounts to an IMPOSSIBLE job over there trying to separate "The Bad Guys"from"The Good Guys" all the while protecting"The Good Guys"and not accidentally taking the lives of same!!!God Bless Our TROOPS!!!!

"And now that we've learned Palestinians are moving in to direct 'insurgency' in that Province..."

Maybe the Palestinians are "directing" something else as well. The Palestinians are masters at manipulating the media and staging atrocities, named Pallywood.

That's the evidence -- claims by three children in a Sunni insurgent stronghold where IED's are the norm claiming massacre - against the word of US Marines?

No way in hell I'd believe Arabs over Marines. They lie all the time. They stage events all the time. They kill their own all the time. They hate us.

Iraqi Police Find Nine Severed Heads
Discovered in Fruit Boxes Next to Highway

http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/iraqi-police-find-nine-severed-heads/n20060606055209990003

(Today on AOL News)
Animals wouldn't do this to each other, but these beheadings are a daily activity in Iraq.
The Media is trying to convince the American public that the US Marines are the problem.

Our enemies in Iraq learned to do this from the Palistinians. Somehow the Pali's kids are always hanging around with the suicide bombers when the Israeli soldiers are fighting back. Aftewards we get a sob story that "accidentally" neglects to mention the weapons, bombs, etc being used by the Pali's. Evil uses children as shields and propganda. You'd think the left (and the American public) would have grasped that fact by now.

I tend to still stand by them.
Witness the incidents with Hezbollah during the Israeli conflict ......... we (and the Israeli IDF) seem to be light years behind the terrorists in countering terrorists ability to manipulate the MSM.
