USATODAY.com - Iraqis say tape is of wedding struck by U.S.

"'There was no evidence of a wedding: no decorations, no musical instruments found, no large quantities of food or leftover servings one would expect from a wedding celebration,' Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said Saturday. 'There may have been some kind of celebration. Bad people have celebrations, too.'
But video that APTN shot a day after the attack shows fragments of musical instruments, pots and pans and brightly colored beddings used for celebrations, scattered around the bombed out tent.
An AP reporter and photographer, who interviewed more than a dozen survivors a day after the bombing, were able to identify many of them on the wedding party video -- which runs for several hours.
"

USA Today points out the inconsistencies in the Army claims. This does not add to the credibility of the situation in Iraq, nor does it lend credence to Rumsfeld's affirmation that the prison abuse is limited to a handful of baddies.
