Eight (at least) were insurgents, and the rest were collaborators:

_____________________________________________

A 12-year old survivor of the alleged massacre of innocent civilians by U.S. Marines patrolling Haditha has admitted she had prior knowledge of the plot to detonate an IED as their convoy was passing by her house on the morning of Nov. 19, 2005.

In a CNN interview broadcast Wednesday, Safa Younis - who says eight members of her family were killed by U.S. troops - recalled that she was getting ready for school as the Marine Humvee approached. "I was planning to go to school. I was about to go out of bed. I knew the bomb would explode so I covered my ears," the youngster said, according to a CNN translator.

"The bomb [then] exploded," she explained. "The bomb struck an armored vehicle. I don't know if it was a Humvee or an armored vehicle. When the bomb exploded, they came straight to my house."

In this country, women and children have been accused and convicted of murder many times.

What sort of PC nonsense is being espoused by the media that women living with insurgents can not be terrorists, much less their children?

We know they can be suicide bombers, and will openly raise and praise their children for growing up to be terrorists and suicide bombers.

It seems the media wants to glorify the terrorists as protectors of the homeland who are just trying to keep their families safe.

For that image to stick, all women and children must be victims, not aggressors

This flies directly in the face of everything we've learned about how people are raised in Islamist controlled areas.

1st and foremost among the lessons is Jihad - they're even using Mickey Mouse to put the point across. How old does a kid have to be before he will kill as he has been taught?

I don't know if any of the women or kids that got killed in those houses were terrorists, or if and how many were killed by other terrorists beforehand, and by whom.

I just think it's ridiculous to automatically categorize anyone in a family headed by a terrorist as an innocent.

This video and girls testimony is incredibly damning to the prosecution (and to the picture the MSM want to paint)....Which is exactly why this video footage is never shown by any of the MSM (or talked about).

If a video such as this gave credence to our soldiers acting improper (like prisoner abuse) it would have been shown a thousand times by now...
