The Haditha Massacre story seems to be falling apart, and is appearing more and more to be a hoax. What is disappointing to me, no matter how it is finally resolved, is that Democrats such as John Murtha and John Kerry were so eager to believe the worst about Americans. Surely they are aware that the terrorists in Iraq, and in other places, like to set up situations where civilians are killed for the propaganda value, and are happy to sacrifice their own people. And, they must be aware that Haditha is a Sunni stronghold where the people are hostile to Americans, and to the new Iraqi government, and thus have motivation to lie. Why would Murtha and Kerry be so quick to believe our enemies rather than American Marines? One obvious conclusion is that they are willing to sacrifice our country's interest for their own political ambitions. It is sad. More recently one Iraqi has come forward to say that Americans beat the injured Zarqawi to death. I wonder if the Democrats believe him?
