WASHINGTON - For more than a year, former Marine Staff Sgt. Jimmy Massey has been telling anybody who would listen about the atrocities that he and other Marines committed in Iraq.
In scores of newspaper, magazine and broadcast stories, at a Canadian immigration hearing and in numerous speeches across the country, Massey told how he and other Marines recklessly, sometimes intentionally killed dozens of innocent Iraqi civilians.
Among his claims:
Marines fired on and killed peaceful Iraqi protesters.
Americans shot a 4-year-old Iraqi girl in the head.
Tractor-trailers were filled with the bodies of civilian men, women and children killed by American artillery.
Massey's claims have gained him celebrity. Last month, Massey's book, Kill, Kill, Kill, was released in France. His allegations have been reported in nationwide publications such as Vanity Fair and USA Today, as well as numerous broadcast reports. Earlier this year, he joined the anti-war bus tour of Cindy Sheehan and he's spoken at Cornell and Syracuse universities, among others.
News organizations worldwide published or broadcast Massey's claims without any corroboration and in most cases without investigation. Outside of the Marines, almost no one has seriously questioned whether Massey, a 12-year veteran who was honorably discharged, was telling the truth.
He wasn't.
Each of his claims is either demonstrably false or exaggerated - according to his fellow Marines, Massey's own admissions, and the five journalists who were embedded with Massey's unit, including a reporter and photographer from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and reporters from the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal.
Massey, 34, was discharged in December 2003, shortly after returning from Iraq due to depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome.
He began turning up in the press and broadcast last spring with stories about military atrocities. Massey's primary thrust has been that Marines from his battalion - some of whom, he told a Minneapolis audience were ''psychopathic killers'' - recklessly shot and killed Iraqi civilians, sometimes, he said, upon orders from their commanders.
This guy is a scumbag and a traitor.
This story would make a great movie. Show the REAL activities in Iraq, then follow Sgt Massey back to the states and show his speeches, the elevation by the press, his books, his following.
That would be sweet. Maybe release it right after Kerry declares his bid for President again.
Any details on this part?

Execute him.
Like all liberal scum who will say/do anything to get their fifteen minutes ....
It would be a great movie. It would have to be an independent film, Hollywood would have it buried. And don't bother showing at Sundance or Caans. It would be tough to publicize it because of the 98% liberal ownership of the entertainment industry, but it sure would be worth it.
No kidding. In five years, I'd like to ask this bastard if the speech money, steak dinners, and free travel around the country was worth it. I'd bet the house and lot that the answer would be "no", although I'm sure he'd lie about that, too. He knows he's a liar and everything he got for it was done fraudulently. He can't escape his own head and I hope he suffers every day. In the end, it won't be worth it.
Drag his sorry butt to the nearest Marine Base and try him for war crimes based on his confessions in his book.
Then ask his former service mates if any would like to volunteer to be part of the firing squad.
Next, we will be hearing this scumbag, in a fake JFK accent, compare the actions of the Marines to those of Genghis ("Jen-jis") Kahn.

Looks a lot like Cindi.
This POS pisses me off, too.
I see he attempted to follow the Kerry plan and failed.
Repressed memory caught my attention...then he is writing a book with the French? Scam!
If he's consorting with the French, it's gotta be on the level.
The French are not to be trusted.
I bet they're behind the "No Blood for Oil" anti-war protest. In the UN Food for Oil Report, France had a favorable trading status with Saddam's Regime.
France owns most of the uranium mines in Niger according to the Senate Intell Report.
Wilson is loyal to the French not to the US. Smell the money trail.
I think I've heard about this before.
Didn't he shoot all these Iraqi civilians while on a secret trip to Cambodia with Stephen Pitkin?
He broke faith. He is NOT a former-marine. He is an ex-marine
too right!!
