In a rather disturbing twist on the recent Marine massacre story in Iraq, there is evidence in the form of photographs taken by a Marine intelligence team which show definite proof that 24 unarmed Iraqis were shot "execution-style."
The current theory is that the infantry just snapped and suffered from a total lack of morality and leadership, with the end result being the murder of 24 innocent people. The pictorial evidence shows bullet wounds in the backs and heads of six children and several women.
WASHINGTON -- Photographs taken by a Marine intelligence team have convinced investigators that a Marine unit killed as many as 24 unarmed Iraqis, some of them "execution-style," in the insurgent stronghold of Haditha after a roadside bomb killed an American in November, officials close to the investigation said Friday.
The pictures are said to show wounds to the upper bodies of the victims, who included several women and six children. Some were shot in the head and some in the back, congressional and defense officials said.
"There wasn't a gunfight, there were no pockmarked walls," a congressional aide said.
"The wounds indicated execution-style" shootings, said a Defense Department official who had been briefed on the contents of the photos.
I can truly say I'm beyond disgusted to call myself an American right now, and this news just highlights everything wrong with this war.
I hope the entire unit and their leadership get the firing squad for this terrible atrocity, and that whoever is responsible for the "gang-style" killing goes before the war crimes tribunal in Hague. People, even in war, need to be held accountable for the crimes they committed.
Freedom of "execution-style" killings. I'm very impressed at the drive to spread democracy all across the world, one bullet in the head at a time. [sarcasm]
