Frontline's "Rules of Engagement" (9 p.m. EST on PBS, check listings) investigates what became known as "Iraq's My Lai," in which the U.S. military killed 24 residents of Haditha, Iraq. While some of the deaths were initially said to be caused by a roadside bomb, further investigation revealed that many of the victims were unarmed civilians who had died of gunshot wounds. Iraqi witnesses described how Marines opened fire on their families, but some of the Marines charged in the case maintain that they were following orders and were told, "Shoot first and ask questions later." Through interviews with Marines and Iraqi survivors who were there, Frontline's cameras offer a glimpse of the treacherous ethical and legal dilemmas that our country faces in Iraq.
