If it was in Time Magazine....it was at least a case of poor reporting.

Way to go Sam Hill!!! Haditha story may be falling apart, or at the very least there is a lot more to it than what we have been told in the MSM and by al-Murtha. We still don't know most of the key facts, but what we DO KNOW is that a couple of jihadist scumbags have been playing the MSM like a yo-yo. Keep bringing out the facts and we'll see what these jihadist scumbags have been doing with this story.

I don't want to get my hopes up, too much, but I sure hope this is what has gone down.

While anyone who reads the comment I am about to make may accuse me of making an ad hominem argument, I still must say that McGirk's past alone is evidence enough to arouse serious suspicion about the veracity of this story.

IF this turns out to be a hoax I hope these things take place:
1....all reporters that had ANYTHING to do with this report are brought up on treason charges, and hung.....
2....all Senators, and Reps are pulled from the Senate and Congress and brought up on treason charges, and hung....(murtha that means you first)
3....ANYONE else who EVER says another bad thing against our military and Government FOR ANY REASON are brought up on treason charges and hung....
To -ell with the covering up of these idiots....this is time to get down to brass tacks....these people have done NOTHING but try to bring down our Military and Government and if this is a hoax, its time to bring it to a stop...once and for all....

There is a small consolation in that the Left does look to get more dumb with each passing year.
And this week the process seems to accelerate a lot and to become more like with each passing day...

You have to think that if this really happened, the GI's digital shots would be all over the internet by now, and that the terrorists would have had their cameras on it as well.
I'm betting on McGirk=Mapes.

Is this the same McGirk ?
To: StJacques
While anyone who reads the comment I am about to make may accuse me of making an ad hominem argument, I still must say that McGirk's past alone is evidence enough to arouse serious suspicion about the veracity of this story. You are simply being realistic. It's what my parents always said "consider the source".

It's also posted here and has some good comments.Like a good FReeper, before posting this, I did a search using "Haditha", and that thread did NOT come up. I suspect the reason is that in the title of that thread, "Haditha", the colon, and the word "Is", are all run together.

I absolutely believe that important threads/info need to be reposted. Not everyone can be here all day and a lot of Freepers will miss crucial info. Reposting can be a GOOD thing. ;)

Yes, I think you are right. This is a fascinating and very important article and could be the tip of an iceberg of a huge scandal of a leftist media hoax (I am hoping).

One thing I wish the author had mentioned is how strongly McGirk pushed the "wedding pary massacre" story, which also turned out to be a complete hoax. McGirk his a real history of reporting such hoaxes, or maybe he helps create them, who knows.
