slaughtered Iraqi children, women and men, but what are they
continuing to leave out of the story? We'll have a report

Haditha Massacre
On May 17, U.S. Rep. Jack Murtha accused U.S. Marines Wednesday
of killing innocent Iraqi civilians "in cold blood."
United for Peace and Justice, (UFPJ),
a coalition of more than 1400 international and U.S.-based
organizations opposed to the U.S. "government's policy
of permanent warfare and empire-building," issued a press
release, likening the brutal massacre in the Iraqi town to
My Lai Massacre committed by the U.S. soldiers on hundreds
of unarmed Vietnamese civilians in 1968, in the village of
My Lai, during the Vietnam War.

Bush War Crimes Commission Speeches
"When the possibility of far-reaching war crimes and
crimes against humanity exists, people of conscience have
a solemn responsibility to inquire into the nature and scope
of these acts and to determine if they do in fact rise to
the level of war crimes" from the Charter of the International
Commission of Inquiry On Crimes Against Humanity Committed
by the Bush Administration.
