Here's a gristly first-hand account of the events in Haditha, Iraq on November 19, 2005 by a friend of one of the Marines killed in the roadside bomb that touched off the incident currently under investigation. The Pentagon's investigation into the incident in which 24 Iraqi civilians were killed will conclude within a month, but the US government is already bracing for the fallout, which promises to be ugly.
A preview of things to come occurred yesterday in Kabul, where a riot broke out after US troops apparently shot some civilians after a traffic accident.
