"The announcement came a week after Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Michael Hagee went to Iraq on what he said was a mission to reinforce the training Marines receive in following laws regarding force and violence.
"Meanwhile Thursday, for the first time since reports emerged that children, women and elderly men were slain by U.S. troops in November in Haditha, the Iraqi government took a tough stance on the deaths. The Iraqi Cabinet agreed to open an investigation of the disputed events of Nov. 19, which left at least 24 civilians dead in the western town after a Marine was killed in a roadside bombing.
"Prime Minister Nouri Maliki said that the dignity of Iraq had been trampled, and he promised to open talks with foreign soldiers to set ground rules for raids and detentions."
