New story on the military investigation is NOT ABOUT THE HADITHA MASSACRE
The Freeptards are confused. It's about a totally different incident.

1. No, it's about Ishaqi; the massacre that the BBC had video of. nt

2. If the military investigation concluded Ishaqi was not a war crime -
Then I believe the investigators are incompetent or liars or both.

Ishaqi - Abu Sifa - Children of Abraham - Death in the Desert

WARNING! Photos that the BBC said were too graphic to show are IN this Flash presentation:
Ishaqi - Abu Sifa - Children of Abraham - Death in the Desert

Here is a description of several of the photos:

We know from photographic evidence that the corpses of two men, four shrouded figures (women, according to the villagers), and five children - all of them apparently under the age of five, one as young as seven months, were pulled from the rubble of the house and laid out for burial beneath the bright, blank desert sky.

We know that the U.S.-backed Iraqi police said that an autopsy performed on the bodies found that "all the victims had gunshot wounds to the head." We know that the U.S.-backed Iraqi police said they found "spent American-issue cartridges in the rubble."

We know that two Iraqi police officials, Major Ali Ahmed and Colonel Farouq Hussein - both employed by the U.S.-backed Iraqi government - told Reuteres that the 11 occupants of the house, including the five children, had been bound and shot in the head before the house was blown up.

We know from the photographs that one child, the youngest, the baby, has a graping wound in his forehead. We can see that one other child, a girl with a pink ribbon in her hair, is lying on her side and has blood oozing from the back of her head. The faces of the other children are turned upwards toward the sun; if they were shot, they were shot in the back of the head and their wounds are not evident. But we can see that their bodies, though covered with dust from the rubble are otherwise whole; they were evidently not crushed in the collapse of the house. They died in some other fashion.

We know from the photographs that two of the children - two girls, still in their pajamas - are lying with their dead eyes open. We can see that the light and tenderness that animate the eyes of every young child have vanished; nothing remains but the brute start of nothingness into nothingness. We can see that the other three children have their eyes closed; two are limp, but the baby has one stiffened arm raised to his cheek, as if trying to ward off the blow that gashed and pulped his face so terribly.


The problem is not Haditha.

The problem is not Abu Sifa.

The problem is not Abu Ghraib.

The problem is not Iraq.

The problem is not George W Bush.

THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING USE of the US Military for control of markets and resources.

Please Honor The Deaths of Innocents in Haditha & Abu Sifa
