Tale a look at this excerpt:
Khaled Raseef, a spokesman for the victims' relatives, says U.S. military investigators visited the alleged massacre sites 15 times and "asked detailed questions, examined each bullet hole and burn mark and took all sorts of measurements. In the end, they brought all the survivors to the homes and did a mock-up of the Marines' movements." As the detectives found contradictions in the Marines' account, "the official story fell apart and people started rolling on each other," says the military source.

Keep in mind that the charges are based on this, and the testimony of a 9 year old girl. She stated that one of the "civilians," here father was in his room reading the koran during the firefight. This story, like most accounts related by our press come from the enemy. Keep in mind that when terrorists get shot, the instant their body hits the dirt they become devout civilians. The bodies are removed quickly, or disarmed by their companions. Note also that terrorists kill indiscriminately, without remorse.

There is nothing in this story but rumors.

It would be nice if you were right -- we'd all love for this to turn out right. However, the articles so far talk about evidence that isn't good (like photos from Marine intelligence troops, overhead surveilence footage, radio traffic logs, and testimony from the Marines who were there). So I'm afraid we'll just have to wait and see.
