(13,184 posts)When even the Weekly Standard article only says "soldiers allege."
From the article:
Brandon Ditto led the platoon that came under fire that day. Speaking Tuesday evening by phone with THE WEEKLY STANDARD, Ditto said it seemed that Poitras "had pre-knowledge" of the ambush. He recalled the events he witnessed that day, confirming the details described in Devil's Sandbox.
During a patrol of Adhamiya early in the morning of November 20, two soldiers in Ditto's platoon noticed a woman standing on a rooftop next to a man while holding a camera. They found that very odd. "Usually when you see someone planted on a rooftop with a camera, they're waiting for something, and right after that is when we got ambushed just down the road," Ditto told me Tuesday night. "So it seems that she had pre-knowledge that our convoy, or our patrol, was going to get hit."
"We took multiple casualties," Ditto said. "Things kind of erupted."

So we have an allegation unsupported by any actual facts. Designed to smear this woman. And from a right wing source, no less. And you run with it. That's low even by your standards. You ought to delete your duplicitious post.
