<<Something smells about this report, smells bad. Marines everywhere are in direct communication with their families by telephone and email. You think they are all hiding information like this, a vast conspiracy? >>> What? You didn't know about it? Its the reason we have so many viruses in computers these days. You see, the CIA monitors all those E-mails and seeks out key words like 'horrible' or 'senseless killing' and then sends out a virus to delete the E-mail and everything else on that traitors computer. The virus is secret program from Microsoft, invented by Bill Gates, and paid for by contributions from the Bush Foundation and by provisions for a reduction in Government taxes owed by Microsoft. Congress knows about this also, and thats the reason they wont pass a law making options expense reporting mandatory. They should have an investigation, but all of our investigators are looking into prison abuses, war crimes committed by GWB, failure to prevent 911, and the effects of gay marriage laws on the election.

What part do you find implausible? The practice of blowing away cars that fail to stop at checkpoints is something that has been widely reported. Since the alternative is to expose yourself to car-bomb attack, I guess most soldiers accept it as necessary.

What is it about the story that you disbelieve? That innocent people were killed at checkpoints because they panicked? That was widely reported, especially in the beginning when everything was in flux. That cluster bombs kill civilians? Well, duh. If you drop a bomb that takes out a city block, what do you expect? That soldiers would shoot into crowds? Just happened today in Gaza. washingtonpost.com You remind me of people who eat meat but don't want to know how it got on their table.
