New Ambassador from Iraq says Marines murdered his cousin. That should grease the wheels of democracy!

BLITZER: So what you're suggesting, your cousin was killed in cold blood, is that what you're saying, by United States Marines?

AL-SUMAIDAIE: I believe he was killed intentionally. I believe that he was killed unnecessarily. And unfortunately, the investigations that took place after that sort of took a different course and concluded that there was no unlawful killing.

I would like further investigation. I have, in fact, asked for the report of the last investigation, which was a criminal investigation, by the way.

General Casey is aware of all the details, because he's kept on top of it. And it was he who rejected the conclusions of the first investigation. I have since asked formally for the report, but it's been nearly two months and I have not received it.

Crooks and Liars has the video and it is pretty convincing that Al-Sumaidie has no doubt that the killing of his cousin was not justified in any way.

He also makes the case that there is a pattern of these kinds of killings and probably many more that we don't even know about.
