The Report of criminal behavior by American troops

The main reason I have trouble believing it is that so many from the Arab street seem to have a impulse to make up a story and stick to it, especially if it is the kind that gets play on Al Jazeera and supports Islamist stereotypes of the Infidels. However, there are details in Zeyad's report that don't sound made up.

Whatever the case, I hope that the military will get to the bottom of it ASAP, and that whoever did this terrible thing will be punished. I hope they weren't Americans, but if they were, they deserve to be turned over to the Iraqi courts. Americans, as far as I have seen, wish Iraqis well, and would like nothing better than to bring our troops home, but not if it means dishonoring our pledges or allowing the lives lost to be in vain.
