It's one thing to claim that this is one terrible incident that doesn't reflect who are troops really are. But it's another thing when, yet again, the military command is covering it up. And it's not the first time. There was the Tillman death - the family still can't get honest answers from DOD - Abu Ghraib, and more.

The fallout from the killing of as many as two dozen Iraqi civilians by Marines could undermine U.S. efforts in Iraq more than the Abu Ghraib prison scandal did, a lawmaker who is a prominent war critic said Sunday.
The shootings last November at Haditha, a city in the Anbar province of western Iraq that has been plagued by insurgents, were covered up, said Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.
"Who covered it up, why did they cover it up, why did they wait so long?" Murtha said on "This Week" on ABC. "We don't know how far it goes. It goes right up the chain of command."
