So the Iraqi military says it can't be confirmed, the US military says it can't be confirmed, the leading Sunni clerics are not speaking of the incident, and the AP has reports from a few Sunni locals who have already buried the bodies before they could be examined.

Or at least more credible than the AP's reports?

I'm not ready to take a side on this without more evidence.
