- 7 Marines get immunity in Haditha killings
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  Orders granting the immunity ensure any testimony the Marines volunteer cannot be used against them, making it highly unlikely charges will be brought against the men. They also suggest their eyewitness accounts will feature prominently in military court hearings for seven other Marines charged in the case.

- "You want to shoot them"
  Posted by Billbar from Salon
  A few days before the apparent massacre of 24 Iraqi civilians in Haditha, Iraq, last November, the Marine Corps unit linked to the incident became convinced that a small boy was spying on them on behalf of the insurgents. Lance Cpl. James Crossan, a member of the now-infamous Kilo Company, said that his squad caught the boy trailing their foot patrol in Haditha. "We would watch him go through the patrol counting us," Crossan recalled. "We thought, 'What the ****?'"
