Reply #38: That's the impression I got

I read an article yesterday where the response was a sort of baffled "blank stare". I think maybe it was a lawyer speaking for one of the Marines saying the incident was SOP, to the point it didn't even occur to them to cover it up. As I was reading I was thinking, holy cow, do they not realize what they're admitting to?? They hear a rustle of people behind a door in a house and throw in a grenade?? Run into another house and just open fire?? How many families have been slaughtered like this over there? Then, the really bad part, is that after this, they took a sniper position on a rooftop which is what they should have done in the first place.

Things are very fucked up over there. Unless this gets swept under the rug, lots of ugly stuff is going to start coming out.
