Two years ago I went to a rock to talk to a man about what sounded like a murder.

It had happened almost 17 years earlier.

The killing of the man's sister, his nephew,

so many others, 24 people in all. It was a killing that had gone

unpunished, where not a single person had ever gone to prison,

a killing committed by U.S. Marines. The man whose family was killed is named Kalad Salmae Receive.

He met me in the lobby of a hotel in the city of Erbil or Rock.

We headed up to a room with our producer Samara Fremark and our interpreter a woman named Iamathana

We all sat down

Mr. Howard why don't you sit here? Okay. Can I get you a water or a coffee or anything like that.

Some water.

Some water.

I'd wanted to meet Kallad in his hometown.

It's called Haditha.

But traveling to Haditha is dangerous for Western journalists.

Remnants of ISIS are still active in the region.

So Kala agreed to meet us in a safer place,

in Erbil in the North.

He's thanking you for coming here. He says that you had the longest wait.

He is welcoming you guys to Iraq. Pallads in his 50s.

He's a lawyer and he looks like one.

He has short hair and a neat mustache and despite the fact that he traveled eight hours to meet us.
