MSM Coverage Of Iraq As Seen IN Iraq

The following is a repost from June 2, 2006:

The whole brouhaha over what may or may not have happened in Haditha brings disturbing light to the increasingly shrill Congressman John Murtha, who appears to be motivated not by good faith but by pure evil in his campaign against US victory in Iraq. It also raises questions about what actually happened there, though given the recklessness with which charges of American brutality are always made, that shouldn't come as a shock - especially as the best available information indicates that soldiers stormed houses from where they were being shot at, and firefights ensued in which civilians wound up dead - possibly from guerrilla fire; I find it frankly unlikely that civilians were shot by Marines, given how they are trained to avoid such incidental casualties.

That the MSM is fawning over "Red-Light" Murtha's pomposity is doubly disturbing because, as shown here(see also here), the MSM's false picture is being falsified even more when shown in Iraq.

FOLLOW-UP: There is evidence that some of the local witnesses in the Haditha incident were making details up for "blood money," a possibility worth examining here.
