Surprisingly, some news organizations do investigate some things:
"U.S. airstrike in Iraq kills 11, including civilians"

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military said it killed 11 people in a helicopter attack on a group of men seen planting a roadside bomb north of Baghdad on Tuesday, but police and residents said the dead were farmers, women and children.
Police and residents of the village of Djila say the group of men attacked by the helicopter were three farmers who had left their homes at 4.30 a.m. to irrigate their fields.

Two were killed in the initial air strike and the survivor ran back to his home, where other residents then gathered, said Abdul al-Rahman Iyadeh, a relative of the victims.
The second air strike completely destroyed the house, killing 14 people, including six members of the Ibrahim Jassim family and five from another, he told Reuters. A local police officer, Captain Abdullah al-Isawi, put the death toll at 16 -- seven men, six women and three children.
The U.S. military is already investigating another deadly air strike in which nine children and six women were killed on October 11.
The Iraqi government has also protested against a weekend raid by U.S. forces in the Shi'ite stronghold of Sadr City, in which U.S. troops backed by attack helicopters said they killed 49 gunmen. Police put the toll at 13 and said they were all civilians, including two toddlers.
Critics say U.S. forces often call in air strikes on buildings where militants are believed to be hiding without taking reasonable care to find out who else might be inside."
