U.S. sniper kills family of four in Ramadi – witnesses
Ramadi, Aug 31, (VOI) – An Iraqi family of four people was killed by U.S. sniper fire on Thursday morning in Ramadi, Anbar province, eyewitnesses said.
“A man, his wife and two children were walking home in al-Huz neighborhood when a U.S. sniper shot them dead at 11:00 a.m. in al-Ma’ared Street,” a witness told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
U.S. Marines have been stationed on the roof tops of high buildings in several neighborhoods of Ramadi for two days, he said.
Earlier on Thursday, witnesses reported that U.S. forces blew up many government buildings in the restive Iraqi town of Ramadi at dawn

there are good soldiers and bad soldiers.

But I would not judge this soldier until the facts are in...

I hope this story is false. If true, it indicates our troops are really becoming unhinged being stuck in the middle of the Bush clusterfuck. It's about 120 in the shade over there so these guys may be semi-delirious from the heat and "just feel like target shooting" to relieve the boredom interjected with moments of colossal fear.

Say it ain't so.....

:sarcasm:

Heroes, all!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

are decent people, Zero.

You do have a link for the 99%, right? Or is it more of a looking at the glass half full metaphor in explaining away the unexplainable actions of an immoral army in an immoral and illegal occupation...or do you HOPE that your armed forces are decent people, like Bush?

That sounds more like an independent propaganda agency.

This story is bogus until there's actual confirmation from a legit news source.

You're free to think what you want. I'll assume it's true until disproven by a reputable legit news source, like the BBC.

like the NY Times or WaPo?

I'm with you on this one.

Do you think the first poster will apologize for his comments when it turns out this story is BS? yep, didn't think so.

Why is it so hard to believe that this could be true? Has this not happened numerous times already? Was Abu Ghraib all in our imaginations?

He started the war and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent.
