Read the letter from Christopher Ruddy publisher of Newsmax at this link:

It seems the Haditha Marines need more help. To send a check you will also need to copy the form available at this link:

Posting to Follow-up reading later. Thank you.
OK. it’s newsmax
Newsmax.
Christopher Ruddy.
Now there’s a good news source!
Next, I’m going to check out what that wino near the Exxon station has to say.
Here's an earlier post with direct links.....
Your help is much appreciated.Thanks again!
Thanks for posting this, Mike, NewsMax has gone above and beyond for these Marines!
They raised over $250,000 in the first go around for the civilian defense of three enlisted Marines, now they’re giving it a second go.
Thanks for the ping, Smooth.
And your problem with that is what?
“Do you think it’s wrong to help the Marines? That’s all Newsmax is doing”
Of course I don’t think it’s wrong to help the Marines.
But, Newsmax is a sleazy website which exists solely to make money for its owner, Christopher Ruddy.
Sorry, chasing rabbits that dont exist. My bad. As a subscriber to NewsMax, I acquiesce and apologize for my intrusion. ;-)
NewsMax is a business. Most publishers exist to make money. Aint none of em perfect.
Better private control than government house organ though, eh?
The Haditha Marines is a worthy cause.
WND (WorldNetDaily) also gets beat up here a lot more than deserved, frankly.
Good.

Well, if that's your opinion, you're certainly entitled to it. It's hardly sustainable, given that if Newsmax didn't exist, it couldn't have raised over $300,000 to help defray the financial burden the Haditha Marines have had to bear in defending themselves. It's a good example of what capitalism (or greedy capitalism as you see it) can do to be a good corporate citizen.
LOL! No problem! :)
