Saw the Frontline episode on the Haditha Massacre. It didn’t mention the part where the marine urinated on the bodies.

If you need a refresher, click on the topic label at the bottom of this post.
Speaking of atrocities, there have been a series of arrests recently of Argentinian military officers who committed them during the Dirty War in the 1970s, and there’s a rather fascinating civil case in which one of those babies (AP says there were 200, Reuters 400) seized from political prisoners and given to military officers or others connected to the junta to raise has sued those adoptive parents (her biological parents were arrested in 1977 when her mother was 6 months pregnant; they were never seen again).
