Haditha

AFP reports on the Testimony of a Marine sergeant who both witnessed and participated in Haditha massacres:

[The sergeant testified that]...five Iraqi men were shot dead as they held up their hands to US forces in Haditha in November 2005. ...Prosecutors allege the Marines went on a killing spree in Haditha, a town in the heart of the Sunni triangle, shooting unarmed men, women and children after a comrade was killed by a roadside bomb while on patrol.


Sadly, Haditha is not an isolasted instance, but more like the tip of an iceberg.
