If you’re interested in knowing the truth about the injustice being visited on the Haditha Marines, make sure to tune in to Kit Jarrell’s Blog Talk Radio Show tonight at 9:00 pm CT.
For those so moved, the number to call to participate in tonight’s show is (646) 915-9926.
Tonight’s show will focus on the numerous injustices being visited upon these valiant Marines. I’ll be part of the panel tonight, along with Tim Harrington and Darryl Sharratt.
Mr. Sharratt is the father of Justin Sharratt, one of the Marines currently under investigation. Lcpl. Sharratt’s Article 32 Hearing (the military equivalent of a grand jury) ended last Friday, June 15. I suspect that Mr. Sharratt will have alot to say about how his son has been treated and whether he’ll be court-martialed.
I suspect that Tim Harrington will talk about the evidence that he’s dug up that will, in my opinion, exonerate the Haditha Marines. Most people aren’t familiar with Tim because he’s kept a low profile until now. It isn’t a stretch to say that Tim’s the expert on the Haditha Marines. You don’t want to miss Tim because he’s passionate, knowledgeable and articulate when it comes to the Haditha Marines.
I’ll talk about the possible political ramifications of this sad chapter in military history. I’ll specifically focus on the role John Murtha played in hanging these courageous Marines out to dry. To the point, I’ll be talking about the taped testimony of the S2 intelligence officer monitoring the Haditha insurgent attack. This testimony was just declassified. As I said in this post, it refutes most, if not all, of Murtha’s accusations. I’ll also talk about the specific, and unfounded, accusations that Murtha has made against these courageous Marines.
Tim, Darryl and I will be on the entire hour discussing this travesty. If you want to help right this injustice, tune into tonight’s show. I’m certain that we’ll tell you what you can do to help.
The Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James T. Conway, said a thing that troubles him is the number of issues like Haditha that are coming out in the news media these days."The fact we have three or four issues like that troubles me," he said. "Our public has us up on a pedestal that you probably can’t believe. Every time one of these incidents happens we get a chip out of our pedestal."
Thanks for the notice.
Thanks for the post! I’ll be listening.
