"Video posted to the Internet, telling a tale about a US Marine killing members of an Iraqi family, is being condemned by an Islamic group and investigated by the Marine Corps."

"The four-minute video, called "Hadji Girl",, appears to be sung by a Marine in front of a cheering audience. The lyrics talk about the Marine gunning down members of an Iraqi woman's family after they confront him with automatic weapons".

"The singer is shown playing a guitar and singing about meeting an Iraqi woman and then being confronted by her brother and father, who have guns. The lyrics describe the Marine pulling the woman's little sister in front of him and watching blood spurt from her head."

Anybody heard anything about this? Was this video in fact done by a Marine?

If so, it tends to confirm what Murtha is saying--US forces are under such strain in Iraq that some are cracking. Not all, by a long shot--but it doesn't take many to sour relations in a big hurry--as we're already seeing. Al Jazeera will have a field day with this story--especially if it's true.
