“Haditha was a bad deal, but the terrorists brought it on themselves. They chose the place; they chose the manner. It is unfortunate that innocents died,”

Yes, and those "innocents" watched as insurgent terrorists buried a massive bomb in the road in front of their houses and paved it over to disguise it. Remember the girl who told CNN she was getting ready for school when she heard the convoy coming, so she covered her ears because she knew there was going to be a loud explosion?

Maybe those "innocents" found themselves between a rock and a hard place, I don't know, but oh well.. Look at them now. War is hell. The deaths of those people must be laid solely at the feet of an enemy that used them for human shields, with or without their complicity.

Meanwhile, everybody forgets about Miguel Terrazas.

>> The deaths of those people must be laid solely at the feet of an enemy that used them for human shields,

That’s been my argument from day one!

Regarding the use of the term ‘innocent’, I suppose it’s meant to describe the women and children non-combatants that have no explicit role in the attacks on US assets or personnel. Whether they’re innocent in the truest sense of the word is not something I can reasonably determine.

>> Meanwhile, everybody forgets about Miguel Terrazas.

Forget? There’s plenty to suggest too many don’t care.
