The Shame Of Kilo Company

Sparked by a TIME report published in March, a U.S. military investigation is probing the killing of as many as 24 Iraqi civilians by a group of Marines in the town of Haditha last November. Several Marines may face criminal charges, including murder. And new revelations suggest that their superiors may have helped in a cover-up. [Time Magazine]

Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a decorated retired Marine, told ABC News there was “no question” that the U.S. military tried to cover up the killing of as many as two dozen Iraqi civilians last year in the town of Haditha, calling it “worse than Abu Ghraib”. [source]
