Washburn isn't lying about being a Marine or being in the vicinity of Haditha the day of the incident. But, like many other "witnesses", his testimony is based on second and third hand information. Just like this guy...

I didn't think Washburn was lying about being a Marine. But if he says anything that contradicts the official record without having direct, credible, corroborated, first-hand evidence to back it up, then that should be considered perjury. Certainly there has to be some military regulation (I do not know, I am not military) that covers this sort of thing.

At least I would think if a witness is doing the same thing in a civilian court, perjury charges would apply.

And as for Jack Murtha, that man is a living disgrace to the USA. He makes Benedict Arnold look like a great patriot.

Sounds like this Washburn may be joined at the hip with Murtha the Mouth.

That interview, if true, proves unlawful command influence. The Commandant of the Marine Corps had convinced a Congressman of the defendant’s guilt....everything looked to the Commandant as it looked to the Congressman.

So, POS Murtha claimed in his interview:

That the Commandant of Marines told him (Murtha) that he (the Commandant) saw the incident with the “taxi” (which, btw, was photographed with the weapons stacked up which had been taken from it) pulled up. And that the Commandant saw the Marines on location kill the men inside the “taxi” in cold blood? And then go in the house and kill?

Murtha is claiming the Commandant witnessed these things and then told him (Murtha) about it?

There is no way in hell that the Commandant said any of that. There’s no way in hell the Commandant saw any of that. Nothing in the actual factual evidence supports anything Murtha has to say.

Someday, we might wake up and decide we want to survive as a nation, a culture and a people. On that day, the life expectancy of those who represent the interests of our enemy will reach zero.

Until then, we will continue to crawl on our knees to pleasure our tormentors. And if we do not wake up and relearn how to stand up, we will pass away as every other nation, culture, people have who’ve allowed themselves to coddle betrayers.
