Wedding massacre: it appears the military has decided to do what I think Nixon called a "limited hang-out". Comparing this with their previous pure-as-snow statements on the subject, I think this is more evidence as to which side the credible accounts are coming from. "...U.S. officials said that some of the women who died in an attack in western Iraq that killed about 40 people may have been struck by fire from U.S. aircraft. Many Iraqis on the scene said that most of the victims were woman and children who were part of a wedding celebration. U.S. officials said the raid targeted a haven for arms smugglers. "They may have died from some of the fire that came from the aircraft, but no American soldier shot women, no American soldiers involved in that operation shot children," Kimmitt said. "We're keeping an open mind as to exactly what happened on the ground. That's why we're continuing to try to gather all the facts." latimes.com
