Haditha Killings


Who's Sorry Now?

It's a sorry day for the Marine Corps, for America, for Iraqis....the new details about the Haditha are gruesome and horrible. The ill fated Iraqi war will most likely reveal more senseless tragedies over the next years. To see the degradation of humanity here is heartbreaking for all.


WaPo A Marine squad that had just endured casualties from a roadside bombing ordered five unarmed Iraqi civilians out of a taxi, and the squad leader shot them, eyewitnesses say in a new report obtained by The Washington Post. Staff Sgt. Frank D. Wuterich, the squad's leader, shot the men one by one after Marines ordered them out of a white taxi in the moments following the explosion, which killed one Marine and injured two others, witnesses told investigators. Another Marine fired rounds into their bodies as they lay on the ground.
