"If the charges are true, then this man should be shot at dawn the day after his conviction."

What no chance of appeal? Hell, mass murders whom admit guilt are given appeal. Dude, you got issues.

After hearing Paul Hackett verbally attack Dan Senor on O'Reilly's show, he sure seems to have issues. Lucky for his "constituents" he wasn't elected.

I pity the poor souls that don the uniform , only to fall prey to the very same rush to judgment they are accused of making on the battlefield.

War is hell.

You are right. Not all that wear the uniform and are in positions of power have the best interest of the military and our soldiers. This prosecutor could be a liberal moonbat. Paul Hackett made it to major. Go figure that one.

If this is the story about the 4 who raped a girl then killed her and her family, and it is true, I say this is exactly what they deserve.

They single handedly brought shame on their whole country- If they were to do this at home and were civilians I would say they deserve the same penalty.

But to do this in another country does and incredible amount of damage beyond the crime itself, and the only way to help repair that part is to give them what they deserve.

The "System" hasn't convicted them yet, just the Press & a few wacky's on FR.

I am not sure what your preoccupation with Paul Hackett is, especially in this context. He is representing the Haditha Marines, which have been accused of a crime similar to that in this article. He is actively trying to raise money for their defense and has clearly stated that he believes they are innocent and being treated unfairly.

You may not think very highly of him, but I think he is one the side of our soldiers in these type of cases.

But the prosecution would have to present *very* convincing evidence to me before I'd convict them of *murder*.

What are you, some kind of liberal?

/sarc sorry. That just sounded funny.

Read up on it. Breaker Morant wasn't quite the hero he was portrayed as in the movie.

But I agree with you; it's a ripping good yarn.

For AP/Yahoooooooo to publish something like this on a long holiday weekend when no one is paying attention seems very odd to me.

For the most applicable damage they could do to these soldiers and to the US Military as a whole, all the while kissing the butts of their Terrorist buddies, you'd think it would be a regular old Monday Morning story posted then to get the most mileage out of it.

@ssholes. What part of "We're at war!" do these people fail to understand? Oh, that would be all three words. *Rolleyes*

I'll wait, as I always do in these cases, to see what the military actually does about it. With the exception of them not trying and executing John Kerry for Treason the moment he set foot again on Americna Soil, they do a pretty good job of policing themselves. ;)

I believe the marines are innocent too. I do not blame any of the marines looking at serious charges taking on anyone that would help defend them. If it were me though, I would not have Hackett anywhere near my case because he is a loose cannon and a nut.

He was in typical form the other night on Hannity and Colmes and went beserk on Dan Senor for NO REASON. It was pathetic and just reinforced to me, Hackett has some serious issues.

This isn`t the case about the girl, at least she wasn´t mentioned in the article. It talks abpour three Iraqi men they alledgedly shot while trying to escape.

If you're talking about the Paul Hackett who ran for office in Ohio (and failed), he was a marine, not Army.

We have plenty of our own douchebags without taking responsibility for those of other services.

Heh, I am sorry. Please forgive me. As a former marine myself, I should have caught that. Maybe subconsciously I was wanting him to be a member of one of the other services. :)
