GIs NOT Cleared, Nor Is The Chronicle

A military investigation into allegations that American troops intentionally killed civilians in Ishaqi, a village north of Baghdad, has cleared them of misconduct, the U.S. said Friday — even though it acknowledged the deaths of up to 13 Iraqis in the March raid.

Dear Editor,
Although the article itself makes clear that there is substantial evidence that innocent Iraqi civilians were murdered by US troops at Ishaqi, nonetheless your headline reads, "GIs At Ishaqi Cleared".
How many of your readers will glance at that very misleading headline and conclude that the allegations against the US troops were bogus?
I expect this sort of misleading from the White House, or from Faux News. Not from the San Francisco Chronicle.
Sincerely,
Terry L. Clark
