It sounds sick to offer the Iraqi (Hadith) victims families murdered by GI's money instead of justice.
I'd never accept any cash for murder... Would you?? The murderers must be brought to justice, starting with fu*k head at the top!!!
Haditha Lawyer Criticizes U.S. Payments
By HAMZA HENDAWI
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A lawyer who had several relatives among 24 Iraqis allegedly slain by U.S. Marines last fall and is representing kin of other victims complained in a videotape Saturday that American compensation paid to the families was inadequate.
Khaled Salem Rsayef also said U.S. officers accused him and other relatives of lying when they recounted the shootings in their first meeting with the military after the Nov. 19 deaths in the western town of Haditha. He did not say when they met.
In interviews taped Friday by an AP Television News cameraman, 9-year-old survivor Iman Walid Abdul-Hameed demanded that those responsible be executed.

"When I received the compensation money, I found out that it was $2,500 for each victim," Rsayef said. "I told them that it's a small sum that does not match the magnitude of the disaster."

$2,500 for each murdered victim is surely intended as an insult.
I'm against capital punishment but this 9 year old understands justice better than who ever offered $2,500.....!
