Classified documents reveal US military mindset at time of Haditha massacre - The Irish Times - Sat, Dec 17, 2011: "The 400 pages of interrogations, once closely guarded as secrets of war, were supposed to have been destroyed as the last US troops prepare to leave Iraq. Instead, they were discovered by a reporter at a junkyard outside Baghdad.
The documents – many marked secret – form part of a military investigation and confirm much of what happened at Haditha, a Euphrates river town where Marines killed 24 Iraqis, including a 76-year-old man in a wheelchair, women and children, some just toddlers. Haditha became a defining moment of the war, helping cement an enduring resentment that not a single marine has been convicted. That is one of the main reasons that all US combat troops are leaving."
