Military to Report Marines Killed Iraqi Civilians

Is this Iraq's My Lai? Friends who know first-hand what is happening on the ground have been reporting that this kind of thing is widespread, not an isolated incident. This time will there be outrage, and a call for accountability at the top of the chain of command, instead of a brief murmur of disapproval, a few trials of low-ranking soldiers, and a chorus of hushes? Will we learn, and remember, the lessons in Iraq that we did not learn in Vietnam?

In the regime of TaliBush, would you expect history to be something allowed much less something to be learned from and remembered?
