According to this witness he saw his uncle in an unusual position in the closet after the Marines put he there and shot him.
A simple question: didn’t the Marines remove the bodies before this witness could have witnessed the uncle’s position in the closet?
Absolutely right. The kid is telling investigators what he heard happened, not what he saw. And that’s typical of the Iraqi “witnesses”.
There were no Iraqi witnesses to the actions in House 4. But investigators, and the media, could find hundreds of Iraqis who could tell them exactly what happened.
