No Apparent Wrongdoing in Ishaqi

Bubbling just beneath the surface of Haditha were allegations of more deliberate killings of innocents in Ishaqi.

Fortunately the Marines involved in the Ishaqi incident have now been cleared. It is still tragic that non-combatants were killed but that does happen in war.

Due to the loss of life, it's difficult to say this is good news but it is. Instead of one incident after another piling into an avalanche, hopefully, there will now be a cooling off.

There are still serious questions to be asked about Haditha but we can't use these unknowns as justification to find the devil where he ain't.
