1. There was no reason to lie
How they died doesn't make it any better or any worse.

Everyt bit of info that comes out of this Admistration must be held suspect until PROVEN true.

3. No reason at all to lie, but lie they do.
Remember Jessica Lynch....they used her to promote their agenda. These 10 marines died and were just in the way.....it was a gung ho war week.......victory and stuff.

2. Oh no. They didn't lie. It was "misreported up the chain of command."
:eyes: God help us if information gets that screwed up that fast.

5. Olbermann is talking about it now.
Why the commander took them from a safe area to an unsecured zone.......seems he might get his hand slapped for this. Whoever lied should be done.........the families are wanting answers.

4. Hmmmmm. So is this to discredit Al Jazeera?
Or to make us think that the marines were.......never mind.

Where is that video, does anyone remember who put it out?

7. naturally the story is completely different than what was originally
reported. It isn't as if they got a fact or two wrong, the whole thing is different. Nothing that comes out of that government can be taken at face value.

12. Think about it.....how many things are still under investigation in this
adm? From all sides they get caught and the investigations linger, but are never revealed. Damn liars.

13. The new "story" seems quite suspicious.
I don't really know, but that instinctual part of you that says "somethin' ain't right" is ringing loud and clear on this story. At a promotion ceremony in an old flour factory? They swept for explosives, but a solider triggered a pressure plate? This story smells...I wonder what the real truth is, if we ever will know.

15. They said that the guys were gathered into an "unswept" building for
some kind of "ceremony." Here's what you will never hear...how many young Iraqi women were killed in that same attack.

I don't care what the so-called govt. reports come out and say...I think they were in that building having sex with some young women, perhaps even raping them. That is the only kind of ceremoney they would have been holding.
