The American Thinker ^ | 6/09/06 | clarice feldman

Evidence accumulates of a hoax in Haditha. The weblog Sweetness & Light has done an estimable service gathering together the articles which cast substantial doubt on the charge of a massacre of civilians at Haditha . Because the blog is too busy gathering and fisking the news, I offered and the publisher accepted my offer to put what he has uncovered in a narrative form.

Looks like more hoaxing of the public by anti-administration media and and Iraqis (with a touch of Soros money involved).

I knew it was a hoax from the first nano-second I heard it.

Hammurabi apparently did share the video in March with the largely Soros-funded Human Rights Watch which in turn provided it to Time.

And part of the story was found by a Freeper, SBD1. Yesterday SBD1 posted this, Reuters Cameraman in Haditha-No Mention of Massacre, and Royal Wulff sent it to Sweetness & Light, post 24

This is a decent summary of events. I'd toss in the fact that McGirk and Time seem wholly uninterested in the Iraqis backgrounds, despite KNOWING DAMN WELL that they have an agenda. Problem is, its the same agenda as Time's.

If this turns out to be a hoax it will be bigger than Memogate.

Exactly. Even though there was a reporter on the scene with a camera, there are no photographs of the events, nor are there any photographs of the bodies in place, nor of the scene.

We're not allowed to see the bodies, because we're not allowed to exume them.

The marines are accused of doing what the insurgents in that town do every single day, and we are supposed to prosecute the marines on the word of the insurgents themselves.

Those marines should not be in detention. This is a manufactured incident. It never happened.
