A military trial is continuing for Sgt. Frank Wuterich, the last of the U.S. marines charged in the massacre of 24 Iraqi civilians in the Iraqi village of Haditha in November 2005. On Wednesday, a fellow marine testified that Wuterich called for violent retaliation against Iraqi civilians if they were attacked. Wuterich allegedly told his men, “If we ever get hit again, we should kill everyone in that vicinity.” Wuterich faces nine counts of voluntary manslaughter. During the trial, another soldier admitted he urinated on the skull of one of the dead Iraqis.
