Rawstory got it's hands on the these from Agence France Presse… here's a clip of their story on it… also excerpted from reuters. BE PREPARED FOR THE WORST… THESE PICS SHOW ALL BEST THIS WAR HAS TO OFFER. At least there won't be any orphans… apparently we kill children too.
According to Reuters report on the incident, the 11 bodies of men, women and children, including a 75-year old grandmother and a child under the age one one, were found bound in their blown-up home. All were shot in the head; the house was riddled with bullets. At the time, "The U.S. military said two women and a child died during the bid to seize an al Qaeda militant from a house."
"A senior Iraqi police officer said autopsies on the bodies, which included five children, showed each had been shot in the head. Community leaders said they were outraged at the killings and demanded an explanation from the U.S. military," Reuters reported. "Television footage showed the bodies in the Tikrit morgue — five children, two men and four women. Their wounds were not clear though one infant had a gaping head wound."
Wrote Floyd, "We know from photographic evidence that the corpses of two men, four shrouded figure s (women, according to the villagers), and five children – all of them apparently under the age of five, one as young as seven months – were pulled from the rubble of the house and laid out for burial beneath the bright, blank desert sky. We know that an Associated Press reporter on the scene saw the ruined house, and a photographer for Agence France Presse took the pictures of the bodies."

If you aren't sick of the war after looking at these you aren't human. What In Hell are we doing over there? Our soldiers didn't ask for this, the iraqis didn't ask for this, ExxonMobil and Haliburton did though, lucky for us those are the voices that count. damn those pics are messed up.
