FBI investigation complete, rules 14 killings unjustified

Apparently, the FBI has concluded it’s investigation into the September 16th slaying of 17 Iraqi civilians and has determined that 14 of the 17 were unjustified killings. I think that means that those people were gunned down, murdered, in cold blood.
This couldn’t come at a more auspicious time. I’m pretty sure that our [...]
