3 U.S. commanders relieved of duty as Iraqi town mourns its dead

Man... this is so horrifying... Three marines massacred 15 civilians--including women and children--and they are NOT being held accountable for it. How hypocritical is that? Iraq didn't even have anything to do with Sep 11. Why are we there? This war is not good for anybody.

Safa trembled as Yaseen told the story to a visitor. She tried to tell it herself, but she couldn't. "My father told us to gather in one room, so the Americans could search," she said. And then she started to cry.

Yaseen said that Safa told him that four soldiers came into the bedroom, but only one did the yelling. Her mother, who had heard the shooting asked: "What did you do to my husband?" Her sisters, mother and aunt were crying. And then the one soldier who had been yelling started shooting.

Frightened, Safa fainted. She thought she had died. When she awoke, she remembered seeing her mother still lying in bed. Her head was blown open. She looked around and heard her 3-year-old brother, Mohammed, moan in pain. The blood was pouring out of his right arm.
