Yon gives a second chance
2007-07-09
Today, there are indications that the massacre might be much bigger than what I initially reported in “Bless the Beasts and Children.” Shortly after I published “Bless the Beasts and Children,” I asked a local Iraqi official about the village and the graves. The Diyala Provincial councilmen, Abdul Jabar, went on video explaining why he believes that there might be hundreds of people buried in the area, and he said the correct spelling is actually al Ahamir.

Be sure to read the whole thing to learn the results of Petraeus being shot.

#3  The story about Petraeus sounds authentic to me. My only reservation is that I would think that Petraeus would have been wearing a vest during the exercise. If it is a true story, then Congressmen and Senators with higher aspirations would do well to treat him respectfully. It's been my experience that military members of all ranks, veterans and military families to that type of leader are extremely loyal to that type of leader.

#1  and not a peep from the NYTWAPOLATCBSNBCABCCNN. I guess if it were prisoners at Gitmo without inflated soccer balls, or terrorists forced to wear women's panties at Abu Ghraib...they would have been all over it.
