This is absolutely horrible:
Did I just write that? I meant, uh—and now it’s time for a commercial break!
UPDATE, 10:19PM: My friend tells me that a bomb went off that killed one of the Marines that shot the family. He also tells me that the girl and her entire town knew where it was and wanted the Marines to die. I’m not sure if he’s right.

After a small group of Marines stormed the Younis family home in Haditha last November, everybody inside was killed—except one person.Why, how dare ABC publish such a story! Doesn’t ABC know that stories like this will only further convince the people that our war is wrong?
ABC News has obtained an interview with the sole survivor, twelve-year-old Safa Younis. The interview was done by a local Iraqi journalism student about one week after the killings on November 19, 2005.
The U.S. military continues to investigate what happened in Haditha, where a total of 24 civilians died. But one congressman—Rep. John Murtha (D-PA)—said today that he’s convinced the incident was mass murder and that it was covered up.
“There has to have been a cover-up,” Murtha told ABC News’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos. “There’s no question about it.”
