“Its members, including Wuterich, have said the civilians were unavoidable casualties during a battle between insurgents and Marines.”
And when all is said & done, that is exactly what happened in Haditha. These Iraqis were killed in crossfire and/or by the bad guys.

I tend to see this a bit differently, I guess. Insurgents can be male, female, old, young and every spread in between.
From what I’ve read on this incident, the dead folk were insurgents. They might not have been armed at that exact moment, but too bad.
There’s nothing that happened to the folk at Haditha that wasn’t earned.
That whole *&*ing “innocent civilian” thing just chaps my arse when applied to the persons in the house(s) of concern.
