#1 Last month, a separate investigation into the military response to and reporting of the incident concluded that senior leaders failed to sufficiently investigate the killings in spite of conflicting information, according to a defense official.

That's probably what's driving the investigation. The Marines on the ground may or may not have done wrong, but their superiors should have given the matter proper attention.

#2 That's probably what's driving the investigation. The Marines on the ground may or may not have done wrong, but their superiors should have given the matter proper attention.

In other words, the superiors should have anticipated another lefty media storm along the lines of Gitmo, Ramadi [Part Un], etc. CYI.

You know if you stuffed a lot of the whiny media into a small village and let them experience first hand what the French citizens of St. Lo got in 1944, they might get an historical perspective of what is like to be caught between people killing each other. From 2006, that unfortunate fact of war, seems to have been worth it.
