Many of those killed were women and children, who died when Marines threw hand grenades into bedrooms then opened fire with machine guns. Three enlisted Marines charged with murder in the case say they were clearing homes the way they had been trained.
For the Associated Press, the above comment represents an improvement. They didn't use the word "murder." They included that the Marines claim they were just following their ROE's, which they were.

Perhaps general Mattis has handed down some private comms to the IO, that in effect warn them of unfair conclusions based on the shabby and in some cases dishonorable activites by the NCIS and other investigative agents.
