President Bush learned of reports that U.S. Marines killed two dozen unarmed Iraqi civilians only after reporters began asking questions, the White House said Tuesday.
Asked when Bush was first briefed about the events in Haditha, an insurgent stronghold in western
Iraq, White House press secretary Tony Snow replied Tuesday: "When a Time reporter first made the call."
