Abu Ghraib was a prank that turned into red meat for the press.
Haditha may turn out to be a banquet for the press.

This incident is a 'wait and see'. It could be very bad in many ways.
I agree. I don't like the people on the left who are ready to convict. And I don't really care for a few on the right who say no crime could have possibly been committed. We'll have to wait and see.
It's a wait and see but not for the media. Someone needs to remind ABC that their erroneous report on Hastert being under investigation was laughed at by ABC's own staffers.
Someone needs to remind Time Magazine that a judge determined Matt Cooper's papers can be sent to Libby's defense team because of discrepancies. (Credibility?)
The media needs to be watched and reminded constantly of their problems reporting on this story. They are want to be on the hunt on this. Hopefully, someone will make a big mistake.
If two or more Marines in that unit testify that there were atrocities committed, than I will call for those Marines involved to be Court Marshalled. Until then..... They are INNOCENT
No, it won't - The reality is this will have absolutely little to (more then likely) no effect on the greater war effort -
This WH and RNC simply need to get on the offensive 24/7 touting the overwhelming success we've had to date - Along with the immeasurable number of instances of incredible good our soldiers have done for citizens throughout Iraq and Stan -
There is more to this story then is being reported (and where reckless action took place) there is a reason for pause....in which most good Americans will be able to stomach it....and understand on the whole the tremendous good we are doing....along with the tremendous sacrifice we are giving (and a growing segment of the Iraqi people know this as well).
How many degrees of seperation from Jack Murtha?
