Frontline "Rules of Engagement"
The Marines of Kilo Co. 3rd Battalion 1st Marines and their counterparts in the Iraqi Army carry out a cordon and search looking for insurgents, weapons, and explosive devices in the eastern districts of the al-Anbar Province city of Hit, Iraq on Tues. Sept. 20, 2005Frontline cuts through the fog of war to reveal the untold story of what happened in Haditha, Iraq - where twenty-four of the town's residents were killed by U.S. forces in what many in the media branded "Iraq's My Lai." With accusations swirling that the Marines massacred Iraqi civilians "in cold blood," the Haditha incident has led to one of the largest criminal cases against U.S. troops in the Iraq war. But real questions have emerged about what really happened that day, and who is responsible. Through television interviews with Iraqi survivors and Marines accused of war crimes, Frontline investigates this incident and what it can tell us about the harrowing moral and legal landscape the U.S. military faces in Iraq.
