Whoops. The second from the top in the post above, “Officer Says Civilian Toll in Haditha Was a Shock”, is from the New York Times.

Thanks RedRover

Notice how NCT is the only one to mention that there was small arms fire coming from those houses.

The Slimes is...predictably treacherous, the Marine Corps Times claims that Kallop never asks Wuterich any questions, when obviously he did, and refers to the small arms fire in the third person, that is someone told Kallop that "who earlier had reported taking enemy fire"........They're making this whole thing sound like it was over in seconds, that the only actions, the only shots fired after the bomb killed Terraza, were by Wuterich and a handful of other crazed and out of control marines while peaceful citizens, stacked up like sardines(17 in one house!!), sipped their tea and waited to be slaughtered.

Red, where's that article that actually describes the battle that ensued? If I remember correctly, it was substantial.

Pretty much the same, with a little more from Kallop and Gittins, the atty. Any news from the hearing today?
