Haditha Doctor And Reporter Both America Haters

(via sweetness-light blog)
You have probably heard by now that the doctor who examined the bodies of the civilians in Haditha after the alleged Marine rampage said they were shot in the chest and head and from close range.

You have probably also heard it reported that the death certificates of the deceased record that all the victims were shot...

...Dr. Wahid, the director of the local Haditha hospital, said the Marines brought 24 bodies to his hospital around midnight November 19. He told Time the Marines claimed the victims had been killed by shrapnel, "But it was obvious to us that there were no organs slashed by shrapnel. The bullet wounds were very apparent. Most of the victims were shot in the chest and the head—from close range."


This quote has now become an essential element in most of the articles on Haditha...

#8  Then again, even if all this turns out to be a setup, don't be surprised if the military under pressure from the PC DoD ignores that and jails them anyway. Hell, an Army dog handler today got reduction in rank, forfeiture of $600 a month pay for a year, etc. for allowing his dog to bark at a terrorist.

#6  Ah, the plot thickens. Always best to reserve judgment. If all this turns out to be bogus, all the folks who condemned the Marines in the beginning should be lined up and beaten.
