If O'Reilly hates it - it must be very well done and honest.

I don't know what happened in Haditha. I wasn�t there, and my knowledge is limited to the news articles I have read. However, the Marine Corps prides itself on holding its members to the highest standards of accountability. If the allegations are substantiated, I am sure the Marine Corps will pursue appropriate legal and administrative action against those responsible. While I cannot speak intelligently on the Haditha incident, I do think I can comment on possible causes of these types of tragic events: a frustration most can�t understand. I don�t condone any use of force outside our directed rules of engagement and escalation of force procedures. However, I can understand why violations of the ROE happen, however unjustified they may be.

Not sure where you are going with that one. The movie in question is about the Mahmudiyah killings.

Here is a quote from the Wiki that started this thread.

It is a drama based on the Mahmudiyah killings, the rape, murder, and burning of Abeer Qasim Hamza al-Janabi, a 14-year-old Iraqi girl in March 2006 by U.S. soldiers who also killed her parents and younger sister.

No need to apologize I see the point you were trying to make. Just don't think it fits in this case.

If the movie is 100% factual with no bias then let it be... People will not start hating the US just because of a movie.. (At least I hope not)

A screener copy, supposedly with a very disturbing final sequence, was leaked to BitTorrent.

I watched it yesterday, and to say I'm enraged is an understatement.

The movie is basically about this incident:
