[Navy Patriot]

I was aware of the resolution of the case against Lt. Pantano. As soon as the trial imploded and it became obvious that the Lt. was a target in a political frame up by anti American elements, things got real quiet. Michael Savage, as unusual as he is, pegged it right from the start, anti American operatives fabricated evidence and attempted to frame Pantano. Judging from the MSM glee and the interesting circumstances plus the players, I propose that this is round two, with the same cast in the background.

My main concern is that like IED's, they get better with practice, I don't want to allow this to be the frame that worked.

The MSM are writing in a manner that implies the Marines are already proved guilty, a tactic they seem unwilling to use on, for instance, William Jefferson D-La. I wonder why. Probably Goebbels could explain it to me.

When these Marines are exonerated, Murtha should have to pay under the Patriot act in Gitmo, I would do the honors.

It's not a case anymore of, "Is the MSM lying?"

It's now a case of, "How is it lying: commission (telling us falsehoods) or omission (not telling the whole story)?"

I believe you could very well be right. It's hard for me to believe a platoon of Marines would do this or that a platoon would cover something like this up for a few. It just doesn't smell right.

As for Murtha, I can't see one single reason for him to come forward like he did and crucify the Marines unless he's starting to suffer from the onset of dementia, and I'm serious. He sparked the media's onslaught of this even if they were ready for it.

It's hard to know how it'll play out but much damage has already been done, even if it turns out to be bogus. Murtha should be impeached but the next best thing will be if Diana Irey beats him in November.

Just so I'm clear, tell me what I'm missing:

As I understand your closing statement, you believe that when these Marines are exonerated (I guess you know as much about the evidence as those who are rushing to a judgment of guilty, since you make no allowance for 'if'), a US Congressman who spoke out about the allegations against the Marines should be sent to do time in an offshore prison whose primary function is to keep its guests off of of US soil so that no rights afforded to an accused under the Constitution will attach.

Since when does open disdain for the Constitution make one a "Patriot?"
