Thanks for all the work you are doing keeping up with the Haditha Marine cases. Any idea what’s on the roster for tomorrow?

Re. the weapons, I’ve seen conflicting reports that one, two and zero weapons were found. I wonder if an investigation was not initiated at the time, if any confiscated weapons would have been kept, tagged, etc. like a police dept. would do. What happens to all the weapons that are taken from insurgents/terrorists in Iraq?

So far as I know, all the weapons are stored and destroyed eventually (what are we going to do with thousands of AK-47s?).

I'm not all at all sure about tomorrow's roster. In the Stone and Chessani hearings, they started with Marines who were in Haditha that day and could provide a kind of overview based on what they witnessed. Could be almost anybody (maybe Kallop for the third time?)

Further to the point above about NCIS, the kind of thing that bothers me is this bit about in the news about LCpl. Andrew Wright and LCpl. Ryan Briones. According to Wright's parents, Andrew "was under so much pressure because of the investigation that he had consulted with an attorney, they said."

Wright only arrived on the scene long after the action had taken place. Why would NCIS hammer at him? (Of course, Briones is in prison now so I doubt he'll be on the prosecution witness list.)
