Former Marine Alleges Atrocities In Iraq

[ECH1969]

PARIS A former U.S. Marine in Iraq alleges that his battalion committed atrocities against Iraqi civilians during the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, including shooting unarmed protesters.

Jimmy Massey, a staff sergeant who was in the Marines for 12 years and served three months in Iraq before being honorably discharged with post-traumatic stress syndrome, details the allegations in his book, “Kill! Kill! Kill!”, written with the French journalist Natasha Saulnier and published in France.

He alleges that over a period of a month and a half in 2003, his platoon killed more than 30 civilians in Iraq.

“Mr. Massey made allegations of genocide by members of his command, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, resulting in an investigation,”

1. I heard the same thing from another Marine that came back from Iraq

He said that the military killed a lot of civilians, often by shelling villages to just get at a sniper. He was having nightmares!

3. every day, another atrocity

With every day that passes with the BFEE in charge, America loses more credibility and has more shame to bear.

I am so ashamed to read stories like this.

Just think, I wonder what these people coming back might think is the "right" thing to do? Kill someone if they say the wrong thing or look the "wrong" way?

We are facing a tyranny like has never been seen in the history of the USA.

This MUST stop! We the People cannot allow it to continue. I feel so powerless. :(

4. It's really too bad ...

...He waited until he had a book deal to come out with all 100% of this information.

I've heard him speak and he failed to reveal all the atrocities.

9. it is worse that VietNam

IMO it is much worse. More people involved in a larger geographical area and also, the technology we have today is superior to what was around in the 1960s.

We must get out of Iraq ASAP.

Not only are we killing innocent people, our own are being maimed for life. :(

10. and it was 'investigated'...

...and of course found to be 'unsubstantiated. and of course no amerian publisher would touch his book. this crushing of dissent is lower profile than simply BURNING books.
