The details of what happened in Haditha were first disclosed in March by TIME's Tim McGirk and Aparisim Ghosh, and their reporting prompted the military to launch an inquiry into the civilian deaths. The darkest suspicions about the killings were confirmed last week, when members of Congress who were briefed on the two ongoing military investigations disclosed that at least some members of a Marine unit may soon be charged in connection with the deaths of the Iraqis--and that the charges may include murder...
...memory of finding her dead mother (a suicide victim who shot herself--another gun!). The children in Babel are complicated human beings, just like the adults. And they are certainly crucial to Iñárritu. He dedicates the film "To my sons, the brightest lights in the darkest night."

His 2002 comedy, “Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge,” tells the classic Scrooge tale, except the ghosts keep showing up at inappropriate times, and Bob Cratchit’s wife is planning suicide. 1994?...
...VINCI CODE DAN BROWN Centuries ago, Christianity's darkest secrets were hidden--for their safety and ours--in a maze of riddles and paintings and secret societies and murders. Or at least that's what happened in Brown's best-selling novel. Either way the secrets are out now, and if they weren't worth $24.95 to you in hardcover, you can get them and the absorbing tale of Harvard "symbologist" (sorry, but there's no such thing) Robert Langdon and minxy sleuthette Sophie Neveu for cheap...
