Almost everybody has "outed" the (boo hoo) wedding party slaughter by our awful troops except the media. Go HERE for one of them. And while you're there, read this too. Our White House is pathetically bad at telling our story. They have to tell it because nobody in the press will. As usual, Belmont not only has the best coverage, he explains the whys.

On May 20, 2004 at 09:30 Zulu, after the last entry in the table above, the International Committee of the Red Cross "condemned Thursday an 'excessive' use of force by the US military." The story went on to say that "US troops faced further embarrassment amid claims they killed dozens of people at a wedding celebration in a remote western Iraqi town, at a time when the occupation forces are already reeling from a prison abuse scandal." A reaction based on old news had taken twelve hours to work its way through the Red Cross and emerged to spawn further accusations on its own power.
Be sure to go there if nowhere else. Just a great job.
