The funny thing is, she complained about us attacking Murtha, but she attacked him as well, and for one of the same reason I attack him -- if he IS correct, he shouldn't be making excuses for the soldiers just to score political points, he should be calling for them to be punished appropriately.

Of course, I also blame him for leaking the report just so he could score political points. War should not be politicized, and war crimes should CERTAINLY not be used for partisan purposes.

Using the phrase "war crimes" in an extreme exaggeration and must not apply to this situation. If what happened in Hadaytha is true then it is simply an incident and we should be amazed that much more incidents like did not happen in the last three years and these very rare incidents in a theater of war is a testimony of the great discipline and professionalism of our troops.
