Marines Investigating "Hadji Girl" Video

The U.S. Marines are investigating a video of what appears to be a Marine singing to a cheering crowd about killing an Iraqi family. "Hadji Girl" is a four minute video posted to (and later removed from) the YouTube web site. It has since been downloaded tens of thousands of times and has caused much outrage. The Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on the U.S. Congress to investigate.

According to the CAIR press release:

The song's lyrics include: "“I grabbed her little sister and put her in front of me. As the bullets began to fly, the blood sprayed from between her eyes, and then I laughed maniacally. . .I blew those little f**kers to eternity . . .They should have known they were f**king with the Marines."” Members of the audience, not shown in the video, laughed and cheered wildly for these lyrics.
