Let's see, if there were any weapon, they would have been removed by the Marines. If there were any weapon not removed and in site, this reporter would not have "seen" them.

I saw nothing about the iraqui 'guerilla' style of hiding behind women, children - using them as human shields.

yes, there is a possibility, very slight, of mistaken shooting, but apparantly you people do NOT know about the training a Marine goes through.

The Marines are extremely disciplined and even IF one person fired, the rest would not be firing indiscriminately at unknown targets that were NOT firing back.

I would like to know if this tragedy happened before, during, or after Peter Arnett's encouragement to the enemy.
