These were all human people. Both the murdered and the murderers. This is what war does.

I would like to know what the Marines have to say. Sounds like more BS from the News, Poor Iraqis .
TP

How could it be BS coming from such a reliable source?

LOL.

The US Armed forces have to fight this war every day with one hand tied behind their backs. They were "unarmed" because they already planted and detonated their roadside bombs and tossed the cell phones. When they went back to the scene of the crime to jump for joy in accomplish their mission, the US Marines caught up with them and shot them when they tried to scurry away.

Do you have a link for this article/information?? I must have missed it, and I'd like to read it.

I haven't heard that the men who came across the scene and were shot by the marines were insurgents either. Site your source.

AP:

U.S. criminal investigators found no evidence to support the claim of Marines charged in the deaths of unarmed Iraqi civilians that five were shot after trying to flee the scene of a roadside bombing that killed one Marine, a senior defense official said Saturday.

Thank you for clearing that up, jklugman.
