FRONTLINE 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 producer Arun Rath investigates this incident and what it
can tell us about the harrowing moral and legal landscape the U.S. military
faces in Iraq.
