Oh...I LIKE it! Good work!
From a generally Anti-Military web site.Lt. Andrew Grayson isn't about to "roll over" and admit to something he didn't do in Iraq. No matter how much pressure or what kind of "deal" the Marine prosecutors (persecutors) bring against him in the alleged Hadithah "killings" that took place two years ago.
The 26 year-old combat vet said he'd been asked to "fall on my sword for the greater good of the Marine Corps. They (the prosecution) wanted me to distort the truth to fit their end goals," he told reporters.
Well, thank God Grayson refuses to be a scapegoat and go along with what the PC-correct prosecutors are trying to pull. The tough Marine lieutenant is not alone. We will be writing soon about Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, as he too is being unjustly prosecuted for something for which he's not guilty.MARINE LT REFUSES TO CUT "DEAL" WITH PROSECUTION TEAM
The unjust legal proceedings stem from a convoy ambush in Hadithah, Iraq on November 19, 2005 that resulted in the death of 24 Iraqis, some of them in house-clearing operations in the immediate area.
The Marine brass decided to "go after" the grunts involved and even some of their officers, who were not on scene, just to satisfy the media and cheap politicians. They charged Grayson with making "a false official statement and obstructing justice."
"They desperately need someone to roll over," said Joseph Casas, a defense attorney for the young Marine officer. "Lt. Grayson will not admit to any cover up because he wasn't part of one."
The so-called "deal" offered by the prosecution team in reality is professional and personal suicide. If Grayson signs a phony statement he is "guilty," then the lieutenant's career is over. To treat a brave, honorable combat veteran that way is so typical of the atmosphere Marines must work under in Iraq these days.
YW
:>)
I hope the Sharratt family feels some sense of vindication. I bet any reasonable American that watched this segment will be sympathetic to the Sharratt family as they had to endure the unwarranted incrimination.
YW??? Perhaps I’m just tired.....
Well, if we can’t have Congressman Sharratt on the Hill, it may as well be Russell!
How’d you like the show? ;) I managed to get it on DVD and will mail it to you tomorrow.
Your Welcome...
It went very well, just wish it was longer. There is much more truth that needs to come out.
Thanks for recording it for me. I will send you mine next week.
:)
Going to catch the midnight replay...making an airport run at ten.
DUH ..... I am more tired than I thought! ;*)
Could you send me an audio file... please?
This Me Lie melted like butter to the hot knife of truth.
Pray for W and Our Marines
Hey, smooth! Do you think the show transcript will be up at the Lexis-Nexis thing?
I deleted it after I watched it - oops, sorry.
As soon as I find it I will freepmail a link and e-mail you the full text. We could really use it, especially at DefendOurMarines.
BTW, the Rockies are batting in the bottom of the 9th. 4-3, 1 out. This Boston pitcher Pepperbone or whatever is a real pain.
Now it’s two out...and one strike away...
