...the truth about this incident has been made public and is being investigated.

Stuff like this probably happens all of the time in Iraq.

Tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis have been killed in this war. We know our military is
conducting raids in residential neighborhoods. We also know that resident in Fallujah had chemical weapons used on them. We've seen the pictures of dead Iraqi children. Remember the countless stories about Iraqi families--including children--who were gunned down as they drove through checkpoints? No one ever investigated those bodies. We got a canned version of events, and that was that.

Atrocities are happening everywhere in Iraq--and have been since day one. If anything, our government has gone to great lengths to downplay, and hide, civilian deaths.

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad to see that this incident is getting attention and
that someone is doing something--instead of hiding it. I'm shocked actually, that
the truth is getting out.

It just seems odd--that in the midst of a massive killing spree--that all of a sudden
one incident is being investigated and publicly denounced by the military.
