The family had misinterpreted a leaflet dropped into their village by American forces, and thought they were encouraged to flee the village. It actually told them to stay put. It's hard to believe they could have misinterpreted the leaflet...it's even harder to believe they misinterpreted the American forces shouting and motioning for them to STOP!

Something just doesn't ring true here.

Sounds like a bogus attempt to make our troops into monsters.

OK----
Now I have a question/observation. I have yet to hear from any of the major media outlets that the van was not 100% women and children occupied. Now we hear that there was at least one adult male in the van? I know this doesn't make a huge difference in the scope of things, but it does go back to the motive of the major media outlets....why hide this fact?

Sis, I can't believe so many Iraqis are just out and about and driving around. Maybe we should be taking out filling stations.
