A Marine Corps general has reportedly found evidence of negligence, but no coverup, in the investigation of an alleged massacre of Iraqi civilians. Citing two unnamed officers in the U.S. Defense Department, The New York Times reported Friday that Lt. Gen. Peter Chiarelli -- the second-ranked commander in Iraq -- found no evidence of a deliberate coverup by Marine officers who investigated the alleged massacre at Haditha in November 2005. Chiarelli reportedly recommended disciplinary action for some of the officers involved in the investigation. His report cited senior officers in the Second Marine Division and the Second Regimental Combat Team. "He concludes that some officers were derelict in their duties," one official told the Times.

Details, details, details.... goodness - 5.56/7.62 - what's the difference? The MArines are Guilty - or so says the commie media....

BARFFFF! When you take away our soldiers right to defend themselves appropriately, more of our soldiers die - and the more ammo is given to the left-stream media agains the war because of the US casualites.... It is a self-feeding circle. The leftists want to get more troops killed to strengthen the anti-war position to supposedly "save" our troops lives.

Yes, I know it makes no sense - but tell that to the media who are hell bent on destroying this country.

Exactly. Also notice that the msm makes no distiction between the terrorists killed in the action and "innocent" women and children. They are lumped in with the civilian body count.

Fred Barnes: The My Lai Lie
Another cartoon, this one in the Arizona Republic, showed the Marine emblem and said USMC stood for "United States Massacre Cover-Up." An investigation by an Army general later found there was no coverup in the case."
