“So you know nothing about the Haditha Marines then?”

FWIW, even the leftist freaks at Wikipedia sort of defend Mattis:

Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani was recommended to face court-martial for having “failed to thoroughly and accurately report and investigate a combat action that clearly needed scrutiny.”[47] On June 17, 2008 Military Judge Colonel Steven Folsom dismissed all charges against Lt Colonel Jeffrey Chessani on the grounds that General James Mattis, who approved the filing of charges against Chessani, was improperly influenced by an investigator probing the incident.
