Editor's note: CNN agreed not to use the full name of family members in this report at their request, due to concerns for their own safety. BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Haythem could only recognize his oldest boy from his tall and slim physique as well as what was left of his shoes. His son's head had been blown away, his body charred beyond recognition. His wife of more than 20 years was torn apart.

OOPS My link is to the video. Here’s the story...

Media adolescents can't find any thing solid to hang on these guys so they'll just keep making it up.
Not surprising but sickening nevertheless.
i won’t even read this crap. Why would i believe CNN?
Blackwater, the new Halliburton.
Things are going too well in Iraq; the MSM just has to find something to smear.
I’m guessing this is another BS tale. Anyone seen Green Helmet Guy or Rage Boy in the area?
They tried to tag the military, and they failed.
They have to go after someone. Blackwater is convenient.
Who protects Maliki?
Jomana Karadsheh? I see.
CNN.com. Now, there’s a source to distrust. This story is already tainted and has no hope of being believable.
Thank goodness we have an eyewitness (who must be related to Captain Jamil and Private Beauchamp and Jesse Macbeth).
You’re right. Iraqi people deserve to be shot. Any Iraqi is a liar. We can’t believe any of them. That’s why we liberated them from Saddam. Dirty lowlife Arabs, right?
Blackwater ought to tell Maliki to shove it and protect his own thugs with his own thugs instead of hiring a US company to do it. Blackwater ought to pull all its guys out and then sue Maliki for defamation and breach of contract. And then sue the media for defamation too—just to annoy them—of course they’d never get a judgment against anyone, but they could make a point. Put Maliki under oath and pry out all his corrupt secrets.

Scott Thomas....is that you?
So riddle me this, CNN: Why aren’t there any bullet holes in the car? Or any signs of blast damage? If they were shot to ribbons or blown to bits, the car should look like a Swiss cheese, a burst soda can, or both.
Refreshing perspective.
In other words, they made it up.
Terrorist, of course, would NEVER harm anyone - and if they didn’t it wouldn’t be newsworthy, and even it if was it would be Bush’s fault.
No but....The MSM has discredited itself by publishing propaganda as fact so many times that there is plenty of justification for questioning their veracity.
Were you one of the people who was applauding the free election - with purple fingers - that elected Malaki? Bush said it was a great day - that's why Americans died, so Iraqis could elect Malaki.
You should have stopped there.
The rest of what you said is your assumption and is wrong.
Isn't it, Mr. Murtha?
