the testimony of the iraqi civilians involved, the hospital personnel and the eyewitnesses appear to be basically in agreement. there doesn’t seem to be much about the episode that’s unclear, although i’ve noticed that a lot of these things pop up, get shunted into interminable investigations that are never resolved, and then when administration officials get asked about it they say, “we can’t comment on an ongoing investigation.” it comes off as a stalling tactic, and that’s what saying “this episode seems unclear” appears to be as well.

it reminds me of the blackwater guy who shot the iraqi security guard and then was apparently snuck out of the country. he’s been “under investigation” by the state department for nine months and yet he’s evidently not even in custody even though he basically confessed. it seems like they just wanted to sit on it and hope it’d go away.
