There is another way to look at this. Murtha has been crying about the incident being "covered up." What I am reading this Marine saying tells me there was an almost immediate investigation started.
Maybe the squad tried to cover it up initially, but is seems that if pictures were takena s quickly as they were and investigators were speaking to those who were ordered to clean it up and receiving those pictures, I don't see where any real cover-up occurred.
I have never really bought the "cover up" part too much in Murtha's ravings...
I remember they were screaming "cover-up" about Abu Gharib also..but it was told to the MSM, right after it was discovered to happen...but, no one paid attention until someone wanted to make a political statement out of THAT.
Therfore, at this point.....I hope they are going on the assumption that these Marines are innocent unless/until proven guilty.
"I don't see where any real cover-up occurred".
Thats right....a few incendiary devices would have covered it up nicely......OTOH, taking the bodies to a morgue DOES NOT support a "cover-up"......
