"The bad guys" - according to this report the dead included Isix children aged seven or eight - U.S. Command Confirms Firefight in the Iraqi Town of Falluja

The thirteen dead is provisional - the Red Cross puts it higher, and with all those wounded it seems unlikely there won't be more deaths.

It seems more likely to be a panicky cock-up, rather than a deliberate massacre to give the protestors a lesson - that's one difference from Bloody Sunday. The other difference being the killing of little children this time.

There should an investigation into what happened, not just carried out by the army. But there won't be, any more than there will be for the shootings at checkpoints and road blocks.

Maybe it'll be included in the movies they make about all this.
