Well, if a top government offical is, as you imply, using this film as anti-American propaganda, what does that mean in terms of our continued presence in Iraq? Do you think the Iraq government is working up to telling us to leave?

[...] Are these new allegations true? We have no way to know… but the composite picture these accusations are painting is downright frightening. [...]

Here's the point, Tano:

Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki lashed out at the American military on Thursday, denouncing what he characterized as habitual attacks by troops against Iraqi civilians.

It's time for all to stand up and decide whether they want to be on the side of propaganda, or on the side of justice. Without an investigation, evidence, suspects, this is nothing more than a propaganda film.

It shows nothing more than dead Iraqis. Not how they died, or who killed them.

I'm kinda missing your point here.

You highlight the phrase about it being produced by a Sunni group - why? Do you think that means it is phony somehow? Producd in a studio or something?

And what is misleading about the lede? Its a video after all. Obviously it was produced by someone. BBC makes it plain that they didnt produce it. And it wasnt in general circulation. So, yeah, they uncovered it. What is your point?

Is the Iraqi government reaction a surprise? I'm just waiting for Muqtada Al-Sadr to stir more things up. As it is, things in the once tranquil south near Basra is getting worse with an "Iron Fist" policy being bandied about. It won't surprise me if they make a token demand for extradition of the Marines.
