Some Haditha Marines gave conflicting statements to investigators. I believe (though I don't know for certain) that Lt. Col. Chessani's lawyers are laying the groundwork to attack that testimony as coerced.

Granted, a more evident case could be built against NCIS misconduct in the Hamdania investigation. Now that Alan Dershowitz is involved with Hamdania, that may happen.

Alleged NCIS misconduct should be as troubling to JAGs as anyone, of course. Shoddy or improper police work can undermine a case.

BTW, this is the thread I hoped you join: Bastards and Men of Honor [FReeper comments needed]

Quickly, and I can't stay long (a lot coming down right now), I think that's what he's trying too. It's not going to go anywhere (this isn't coercion even in the civilian world), but it looks like they're gonna try anyway.
