More questions about the sourcing for this story

[tomnbeverly]

PRAVDA MSM Mantra Military and Bush guilty until proven innocent.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

The "story" continues to unravel. This will be bigger than the Mary Mapes fiasco. I am sure the MSM will still insist that the story is basically true even if its not true here. Because they want to believe our Marines would do this!It is despicable behavior on their part.

[rawcatslyentist]

This is shaping up to be another Rather fake and innaccurate moment!

Actually this "IS"^{TM BIlly Jeff} SEDITION! Bordering on TREASON! Giving aid and encouragement to our sworn mortal enemies!

Maybe it's time for the Leftist lemmings in the media to "question" whether or not Arab propaganda has ever been reliable.

[Paloma_55]

Not even questionable...

When the media rushes in to a town where people have fired upon our troops and set up IEDs and then sit in wait to fire them off.... and they interview people who CLAIM to be civilians but hang out with insurgents...

What kind of story can we expect.

John Murtha should be tried for making this story public. It should have been dealt with by the military justice system with oversight by Congressional leaders IN SECRET.

Bringing it to the public domain was a violation of his oath of office, broke security, and endangers our troops.

Feldman asks many of the questions that MSM reporters should have asked before they treated this incident as an all-but-proven massacre by our Marines. The MSM is in the grip of what occultists call an "egregore," a Group Mind, that obstructs normal rational processes and gives an irrestible emotional attraction to false information.

I caught a snatch of a Michael Savage show in which he was interviewing the father of one of the Marines. He said his son, and others, were being held in shackles. If true, this in itself is an atrocity by our own government.

Thanks Fifi.

I suspect Clarice is on a hot topic here about these purported leaks. NCIS officers would not leak. Hence it is indeed a good suspicion that someone up the food chain did the leaking, and had the reported "information" falsely sourced. Murtha does sound like a possibility.

Now that Karl Rove has been cleared in that manufactured Pflame/Wilson case, as I hoped and expected he would, perhaps he should turn his attention to making sure that the Left's further leak operations against the WOT...such as these on Haditha...get run down...and the perps, if any, get what's coming to them.

[Just A Nobody]

I have no inside knowledge of what happened in Haditha

Nor does anyone else! Thank you Ms. Feldman for beginning your article with this statement. It should be pointed out repeatedly.

[atomicpossum]

This picture of 'dead civilians' killed at close range also cannot tell when these people were killed or by whom. It is entirely possible that these people were killed before the Marines arrived by the insurgents themselves.

Although Time has already had to issue 3 corrections,

Those few words speak volumes about the quality and veracity of the reporting by Time and the rest of the MSM on this event. I'm sure there will be many more corrections in the near future.

Thanks for the post and the ping.

The drive-by media strikes again... files a windshield-assessment story that fits the MSM template. Apologies come two or more days later when the damage is done and the story has entered the meme.

I hate what the j-school hacks have done to the press!!

Did anyone think it was curious that they found an M-16 in Al Zarq's not-so-safe-house?

Was he just a collector of American war trophies or was something else in the planning? Could it have been used to fake a war crime?
