Haditha Documents Recovered at Baghdad Junkyard 
------------------------------------------------



As the United States military leaves Iraq, the New York Times has
recovered hundreds pages of documents detailing internal interrogations
of U.S. Marines over the 2005 Haditha massacre. The documents were found
among scores of other classified material at a junkyard outside Baghdad.
The Marines described killing civilians on a regular basis, with many
snapping photos of the violence. One sergeant testified that he would
order his men to shoot children in vehicles that failed to stop at
military checkpoints.
