LIVE FROM THE MOTEL 6 IN OCEANSIDE...
IT'S THE HADITHA MARINE PING!

Perhaps that is why the NCIS always seemed so testy when they were abusing the Marines under the Haditha Dam.

I sincerely hope this is asked those NCIS agents on cross-examination by the defense team, those interrogations were pathetic.

Excellent article by Nat Helms!

Thanks for the updates Red. Looks more and more like the prosecution has no valid case against the good Marine Sargent.

NO CASE EVIDENT YET

"Live from the Motel 6 in Oceanside"....lol, Red.

Mendoza has a closer relationship with prosecutor LtCol Sean Sullivan that the government apparently wanted to reveal. At least Sullivan never mentioned it. Somehow Mendoza wrangled a transfer to Chicago where Sullivan held a reserve commission in a local battalion until the Marine Corps called him to active duty. Faraj made a few references to their curious relationship in his cross-examination.

Mendoza acknowledged he visited with Sullivan in Chicago sometime after being coerced by Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents who threatened him with deportation if he didn’t cooperate. Both sides stopped short of asking Mendoza what else happened there.

Okay, I hope the panelists are wondering about Mendoza amd Sullivan's "special relatiionship" and connecting a few dots.

Sounds like one of the unexploded grenades was Mendoza's because the "saftey tape" was still attached. (another example of how SSgt Wuterich cared about keeping his men alive, even before the Haditha incident).

Great reporting by Nat Helms.

There is no earthly excuse for sending our military into harm’s way, and then attacking them.

Not sure how I screwed that up but it looks like I managed. Try this: NO CASE EVIDENT YET.

>> The defense is already displaying a lot of confidence and it hasn’t even been up to bat.

Good.

Thanks for the update, Red and Nat.

There was a big “Get Bush” component in the Haditha persecution.

[ColdOne]

Thanks that worked!

[bajabaja]

Just “Thanks.”

Hey Nat!!!

[bksanders]

"At least they won’t get shot at while they are testifying."

One can assume this to be a true statement resulting from the service and sacrifices of SSgt. Wurterich and his brethren.

BTW, I found a website that answers that question for you.

DOWN FOR EVERYONE, OR JUST ME ?

Just heard about a plea bargain on WABC radio; one count of negligent dereliction of duty.

Thanks, Gene. A bit of discussion here, waiting for an article from Nat.
