With the media focused on the rape/murder indictments of 4 U.S. soldiers in Iraq, what happened to the story about the Marines who allegedly massacred an Iraqi family last month, which included children, ages one-year-old and up?

They are awaiting a trial/court martial.

Coming from a Military background, this story should NOT be focused on Marines, but those people who did it. Although I do believe in those people "representing" the marines, they ARE NOT the whole marine core. Iraqi's, although some good, cant be trusted. Some switch sides without blinking an eye, whats to say they dont do that to us when something bigger and better comes along?

they were totally different situations. The rape murder was pure evil and criminal. The others were in a hostile combat area and followed procedures even though the result turned out bad.
I don't think that any of the investigations have been finished, but I don't think they have been charged with any kind of offense at least as yet.

By the power invested in me as a American citizen I find the acts committed supposedly by certain United States Military to be exactly what they needed for a morale boost... What ever it takes to bring a quick solution to war ..... DO IT! General Hooker understood this dilemma during the American civil war... He brought to his troops prostitutes... Hence the name HOOKERS....
