US military ready for "pain" over Iraqi killings

FALSE STATEMENT

The Marines said in a statement the day after the killings in Haditha last year that 15 of the civilian dead were killed by the same roadside bomb which killed the Marine during a patrol.

At the heart of the Bargewell report is how that version was left uncorrected even after medical reports showed all the dead had gunshot wounds and survivors told Time magazine Marines went from house to house in a rage. Among the dead was a girl aged 3.

Time said that when confronted in January with a video of the dead in the city morgue, a Marine spokesman dismissed the allegations by Iraqis as al Qaeda propaganda, even though a Marine officer had also paid out nearly $40,000 in compensation.

After Time published its story in March, three Marine field officers from the regiment involved, a lieutenant colonel and two captains, were relieved of their commands.
