"If an investigation finds Marines killed 24 unarmed Iraqi civilians last year, "there will be punishment," President Bush said Wednesday."

Oh yeah, the standard "investigation". That means delaying the release of any information for as long as possible, then releasing a little info at a time to lessen the impact. The longer the "investigation" takes, the more the story dies down. Some poor schmuck of a non-com is gonna do a year or two in jail for this.
