During city council meetings and talks with local leaders in the following weeks, Kimber heard nothing about a civilian massacre.

"It would have been huge, there would have been no question it would have filtered down to us," he said. "We reported no significant atmospheric change as a result of that day."

He said he first learned in February about the shootings in Haditha when he heard that a Time Magazine reporter had visited the western Iraqi city and was asking questions about civilian deaths.

The darnedest things happen to cut and dry "cold-blooded murder" cases when the other folks get to tell their side of the story...

you know, if I didn't "know better", I would wonder if this was a pre-arranged set up for Time Magazine..

"It makes my blood boil to see my name lumped in with this massacre

There have been many that have made much of the three Marine officers being relieved to bolster the validity of the charges against these Marines including some here at FR.

Some things certainly take on a different light when we hear the other side of the story.

Thanks for the ping and the post.

Well I'll be DARNED! Imagine that. No 5, 6, 9, and 10 pm news coverage huh?? Even the media knows that means it didn't happen.
