Marines’ Haditha Interviews Found in Iraqi Junkyard - NYTimes.com

Marines interview transcripts
were found in this trailer 
By chance (though luck is the residue of design) a New York Times reporter saved 400 classified documents from the flames - official U.S. investigation of the killings of civilians in Haditha, Iraq. Evidence of U.S. soldiers traumatized and embittered by war. Never brought to justice, that escape embittered the Iraqis who refused to allow American soldiers to stay unless they would be subject to Iraqi justice. A deep irony for those, like me, who have traveled abroad to lecture on the virtues of American justice. - GWC
Marines’ Haditha Interviews Found in Iraqi Junkyard - NYTimes.com:
by Michael S. Schmidt
"BAGHDAD — One by one, the Marines sat down, swore to tell the truth and began to give secret interviews discussing one of the most horrific episodes of America’s time in Iraq: the 2005 massacre by Marines of Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha."
