"Also...don't forget that 3 of the MOST critical of the troops re: their treatment of the enemy are supposedly Republicans, McCain, Graham, and Warner...

Actually, 4.... let us not forget that Chuck Hagel would be beating down the doors of every Sunday talk show host to denounce the Bush administration if Trek's Option #2 were the policy. It would be a political non-starter once all the RINOs and Rats raised a firestorm. No, I do not think we can avoid prosecutions if called for under the UCMJ, but I sure hope that every piece of "evidence" is scoured with a microscope because nothing that comes out of a hellhole like Haditha is likely to be honest or accurate.

I know you are right...and the sense of integrity that guides a lot of us..and the Marines in particular would not let anything go unpunished...if absolutely TRUE.

You do realize that in the MSM it is still necessary to remind the likes of Alan Colmes, Chrissy Matthews, all of CNN, and others that the troops that were involved in Abu Gharib HAVE been punished and are in prison??

In fact, I heard yesterday that they are waiting on the verdict for the dog handler involved in AG...
