"In the meantime he worries about the press using Haditha to further their campaign against the military. "

This is exactly what the MSM is doing.

We will probably know some info in the summer, and more in the Fall. Right now, it doesn't look good.

Thank you for this article. I'm seeing a lot of "rushing" even on FR--and I'd really like to wait until the truth seeps out. MSM will be reluctant to tell the real story, if it's not the scandal they're hoping for.

"Everybody agrees that this was the triggering event," Paul Hackett, an attorney for a Marine officer with a slight connection to the case, told the paper.
What is it with attorneys blabbing to the press these days? Unless this Marine officer gave consent for him to comment to the evil press he should keep his mouth shut and focus on the best possible defense for this young man.

It's also worth noting that House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter, who got the same insider briefing given to Murtha, says the "in cold blood" allegations are all wet.I suspect Murtha has slipped a gear. His comments are totally irrational.
Or so I have been told by an unidentified source.

And while that provocation may not have been enough to justify the wanton murder of innocent Iraqis, it's far from clear at this point that all of those killed were indeed innocent. Or that any innocents who did die were killed in cold blood. If the reports are true that many died of head shots to the back of the head while in a neeling position and they came from weapons used by the marines, it doesnt look good. What provocation can there be that would justify executing unarmed women and children?

Then there's this intriguing tidbit, again from the Times, which notes that after the IED was detonated: "Marines and Iraqi forces searched houses and other structures in the narrow, dusty streets [of Haditha] - jets dropped 500-pound bombs." Whoever ordered those airstrikes must not have believed the houses of Haditha were filled with Iraqi innocents who knew nothing about planting roadside bombs. I want to believe the best of our marines too, but its possible that after the officers uncovered a massacre, they called in the 500 pound bombs to obliterate the evidence. The use of the bombs cuts both ways.

The trashing of our military by the media which was sparked by scumbag Murtha is just shy of treasonous. The allegations and presumption of guilt is degrading to our military, our country and our standing among nations.
The articles written to date by the media and statements made by Murtha have cited unnamed sources. That's not near good enough to convince me to abandon the presumption of innocence for our brave Marines or speculate on what may or may not have happened.
My comments about the event will wait until after the final outcome, whenever that may be.

I predict the end of the MSM when they run with this and it's all false ... along with Murtha and his ilk.

How big are these IED's. SOMEONE has to see the terrorist planting these things. If they just stand idly by, they are no better than the citizens of Dresden and deserve the same fate.

People like Chris Matthews and keith Olberman of the ratings pit that is MSNBC will spend weeks continuing to urinate and defecate on the troops that they pretend to care about.
THE DEAD FAILURE REPORT lives on. Where on soldiers who DIE or "SCREW UP" have the propaganda value worthy enough of top of the fold MSM headlines.
Soldiers good works are irrelevant to those who pray for more to die.

In spite of the media hoping for another My Lai, what actually happened hasn't been established yet. At the very least, the accused marines should be given a chance to tell their side of the story.
