So the leakers are now telling the Los Angeles Times:
The general charged with investigating whether Marines tried to cover up the killing of 24 civilians in Haditha has completed his report, finding that Marine officers failed to ask the right questions, an official close to the investigation said Friday.
Nothing in the report points to a “knowing cover-up” of the facts by the officers supervising the Marines involved in the November incident, the official said. Rather, he said, officers from the company level through the staff of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force in Baghdad failed to demand “a thorough explanation” of what happened in Haditha.
A powerful member of Congress alleged yesterday that there has been a conscious effort by Marine commanders to cover up the facts of a November incident in which rampaging Marines allegedly killed 24 Iraqi civilians.
“There has to have been a coverup of this thing,” Rep. John P. Murtha (Pa.), ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations defense subcommittee, charged in an interview on ABC’s “This Week.” “No question about it.”

Why is this guy on the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee? If it was up to him, we would have no defense.

No Coverup in Haditha Incident
While a separate investigation into the incident in Haditha continues, the investigation into whether there was a coverup of the purported incident has been completed, and the result is that there was no knowing coverup (via the ubiquitous leakers)…..
