Why did they wait four months to tell anyone about this?

[Sam Hill]

Fishy time line ping.

It takes time to manufacture quality evidence.

They learned that from Dan Rather.

This rat gets bigger and bigger every day...and smells more and more.

[Jaysun]

He looks like a go***mn child pornographer.

Because it was a set up.

The propaganda arm of Al-Qaeda.

And don't get any ideas or look at my computer."

Thank you for this info. Very interesting. These guys should be watched very closely.

[Billthedrill]

Too far away from the Congressional elections at that point. Whether this guy is actually trying to hurt Bush or not isn't as relevant as the fact that the publicity machine he must use, is.

Excellent job. Thank you for your posts on this topic (and many others of interest).

"Why did they wait four months to tell anyone about this?"

An excellent question! The answer lies with one or more of the following points: (1) wait for optimal propaganda moment; (2) wait for optimal personal propaganda contact such as meeting the TIME mag. bozo from Beserkley; (3) takes time to manufacture the desired evidence; (4) prompt coalition investigation in Nov. 2005 could have blown apart the propaganda set-up, now it's difficult or impossible to disprove jihadist assertions..... And so on....... these fraudulent "human rights" jihadists must be exposed and discredited. Whatever went on in Haditha, these two are far from credible sources for anything.

"Why did they wait four months to tell anyone about this?"

They didn't. They spoke to Capt McConnell about it, no later than early Dec. That includes Iraqi Time employees. Those employees pressed Time to do a story, because the bad press release gave it the appearance of a coverup. Time spoke to to Lt Col Johnson in Jan.

Back in March when this story first was reported by Time Magazine we were told by Time reporter Ghosh (via Democracy Now!) that Thaer Thabit (aka Thabet) al-Hadithi did not want his name known out of concern for his personal safety:

AMY GOODMAN: And then, this Haditha journalism student, who is this student?

APARISIM GHOSH: We’d rather not say, for his own protection, but he’s a young local man. It’s not uncommon in Iraq for young people to have video cameras and cameras, and there's so much going on in their lives that they have plenty to shoot.

AMY GOODMAN: And you got a hold of this, or Hammurabi Human Rights got a hold of this.

APARISIM GHOSH: He brought the tape to Hammurabi Human Rights, which is a local human rights group, and they brought it to us once they found out that we were inquiring about this.

I smell Michael Moore and his terrorist cameramen again

Actually, they probably learned from Rather that if the timing was right you didn't need any evidence. Simply make up the story to fit your desired outcome and start yelling to the MSM traitor brigade. As Rush has said many times, "It isn't the evidence, its the seriousness of the charge."

[Txsleuth]

Okay, there is one time line that has confused me from the beginning of this...

I thought that Muslims believe that they have to bury their dead on the day they die...

If this is true,...could this so-called massacre happen, the guy with the video camera go to the house, video all of this...and then the Marines or whoever, go to the house and take the bodies to the hospital...all in one day??

[pissant]

Beyond fishy. It's false propaganda.

The Sweetness and Light guys (gals?) are doing good work

[roses of sharon]

Did I read somewhere that one of our guys had meetings with local leaders for weeks after and no one mentioned this "massacre" to him either?
