Can you believe that the guy who fingered Zarkawi has been shown on ABC, photo and name? What right does ABC have to give this man a death sentence?

Blogalog…if this is true…ABC is either the dumbest news media…or they are in cahoots with al queda..

The fascinating reading has this excerpt:
They offer a house by house account of their actions, beginning with their coming under sniper fire from an area house immediately after the IED exploded. The article suggests the Rules of Engagement may prove to be the primary area of debate over the incident.

Another excerpt:
A corporal with the unit leaned over to Wuterich and said he saw the shots coming from a specific house, and after a discussion with the platoon leader, they decided to clear the house, according to Wuterich’s account.

Wuterich, not having found the insurgents, told the team to stop and headed back to the platoon leader to reassess the situation, Puckett said, adding that his client knew a number of civilians had just been killed.

The last part of the post reads:
They then noticed another man in all black scurrying between two houses across the street. When they went to investigate, the Marines found a courtyard filled with women and children and asked where the man was, Puckett said.

The unit stayed at the scene for hours, helping to collect bodies as photos were taken. Wuterich, who remains on duty in California, where he lives with his wife and two young daughters, told Puckett that for months no one questioned his actions.

Kudos to YOU Mr. Riehl!! You are for real.

Apparently, the Times magazine story about the ‘cold-blooded killing’ perpetrated by US Marines in Haditha is falling apart

Without an autopsy to obtain the forensic evidence to determine how the individuals died, there’s only circumstantial evidence implicating Marines. And that circumstantial evidence is showing signs that all is not what those implicating the Marines i…

If the marines turn out to be not at fault in Haditha, reporters or their leakers NEED to go to jail. I’d prefer both, since the leakers appear to be the insurgents or their supporters. I’m not convinced as to whether the marines did bad things or not, but that’s because the info hasn’t even come out yet. I’m certainly willing to wait for the facts, and if they murdered, then face the drums. If they didn’t, all who reported ‘facts’ should face much bigger drums.

Can you believe that the guy who fingered Zarkawi has been shown on ABC, photo and name? What right does ABC have to give this man a death sentence? I vow to remove ABC from my satelite. I’ve had enough. (after the NBA finals I mean)

Tim Russert said today, he defended NBC, the media’s Iraq coverage, by saying we capture reality. Yeah, they capture reality in the same sense that those insurgent guys capture people. They saw it’s head off and shout Allah Akhbar at reality. That’s what they’re doing when they capture reality. The reality of what’s happening in Iraq is very different from what Tim Russert thinks it is.

Wizbang writes: Additional thoughts: The two ministers who were imbedded with Kilo company were in Haditha in January, two months after the massacre in Haditha supposedly took place. The point these ministers are making is that if something terrible had happened in Haditha two months earlier, the Iraqi civilians wouldn’t have been as friendly and welcoming to them when they arrived.
