Iraq war veterans accuse US military of coverups - 16 Mar 08

As we approach the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, hundreds of US veterans of the war say the American military has been covering up widespread civilian killings in that country.

And Al Jazeera's Tom Ackerman reports their sentiments aren't necessarily getting a warm reception.

I am a Vietnam Veteran. I am also a disable Vet with a service connected disability. I am glad to see soldiers that are willing to tell the truth about what is really going on in Iraq, but sadly the American people do not care. As far as it goes the American people could care less if our soldiers just killed any Iraqie that they see. Look at White Water. I am ashamed to be an American. We use to have honor, but now we are no better than the Nazis. May God forgive us.

Poor Iraqi and those innocent ones who are killed during the war. Good to hear those stories along with the different faces of truth of what's really happening in Iraq.

You guys know that Al Jazeera is the juiced-up version of Fox News from the Middle East, right?

War killing of innocents has been going on for 1,000s of yrs.Is people just realizing it?Troops from all the wars come back feeling the same way.But i rather kill the fool with the rifle trying to kill me first. Like it was said yrs,and yrs ago KILL THEM ALL AND LET GOD SORT THEM OUT.

I support the troops ..... to come home now!! Even though there was no justification for our invasion of Iraq, whatever reason was being used is now ended. We need to bring our soldiers back now. Obama promised to bring our soldiers home, so it would be nice if he kept his word and returned our troops to their homes. As for Afghanistan, we have been there for almost 10 years and there's no end in sight. We need to cut a deal with the Taliban and get out. I promise you, they will take a deal now.
