[news] Haditha Massacre was Inevitable

[Mostly Water - "Canadian" and International alternative news feed]

The Haditha Massacre is a PR problem. The Haditha Massacre is an opportunity for the Democrats to posture. The Haditha Massacre is yet another chance for "Jane and Joe Sixpack" to be reminded that when Iraqi rebels kill a civilian, it's further proof of their inhuman status but when an American soldier commits premeditated murder, it's an anomaly. It takes a whole lotta propaganda to condition a populace to buy into this formula...but as Stan Goff reminds us: "They were not rogues. They were us."
