Regarding the insurgents and collaborators in Haditha, take a look at this pdf file, Investigation of 3/1 Marine 19 Nov 05 Haditha Complex Attack. It's the investigative report on Haditha from March 3, 2006, by Col. Gregory A. Watt.
There is no excuse for the twisted version that's been projectile pooped on the citizens of this country.
Those men were cleared 14 months ago...un f'n believable.
Thanks for posting that, and your comprehensive (as always!) fact sheet. I'm going to really miss the next 3 days here. I am going camping & dirtbike riding. It looks like I have a whole campground all to myself and my dog, and the boat I've been working on 7 days/week for a little too long is home with it's owner, ready for a few more years of mistreatment and neglect, LOL.
This'll drive me nuts not knowing what's going on with the hearings, so I'll just pray a little extra and take comfort things here are in good hands.
That, and we now know that they know that we know....
Dear God, watch over these Marines!
