[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 327332, member: 8259"] I agree with this 100%. This is not what has been called into question here. I asked why use a Time magazine story as some kind of authority on religion in the Bush whitehouse when they have gotten so many big stories wrong such as the Haditha story. You say only one Marine will likely bear any responsibility for whatever happened in Haditha. Time said the Marines of Kilo company who went on a rampage. You say one Marine shot five Iraqi men trying to surrender. Time said the Marine shot the five Iraqi men as they were running from the scene. Time had to retract or correct three things from the story. I have no problem with this but two of the things should have been very easy to correct before print. This is the one mistake they made that I can understand. Time used a cell phone picture to show how the Iraqi men were on their knees and had surrendered. Problem is they had to retract that photo seems it was not even from that day. As far as BS is concerned he only wants to talk about the 15 that were classified as non combatants. I can understand why he would like to only take one small part of the story and try and say that proves some kind of war crime but it does not. This was in the Time article. "Eman Waleed, 9, lived in a house 150 yards from the site of the blast ... She claims the troops started firing toward the corner of the room where she and her younger brother Abdul Rahman, 8, were hiding; the other adults shielded the children from the bullets but died in the process. Eman says her leg was hit by a piece of metal and Abdul Rahman was shot near his shoulder. [B]"We were lying there, bleeding, and it hurt so much. Afterward, some Iraqi soldiers came.
