Will. agreed, this is great reporting, and well written as is your comment.  A tragedy affecting those already victimized by that horrific blunder of that  Cheney-Rumsfeldt-Bush-Rice  crew.
As a  (non-combat) vet I have great sympathy for all those who have, like Sgt. Rodriguez, had to undergo the horrors of warfare in  this series of dreadful clashes.  I hope he receives not just punishment but the help he needs.
At the same time I'm extremely supportive of his Iraqi-American victims at the Dar Salam restaurant.  By chance, we have eaten there a couple of times  recently, though I hadn't connected it to this attack til  I saw this article.  An interesting  restaurant in an interesting city. Good food and environment, naturally, capturing the best of the culture of old Iraq with not just food but wall decorations and photos. We recommend it.
I hope all involved in this tragedy find  peace.
