Patton had to hang four GIs who were raping Italian women in Sicily in 1943, and he did so without compunction or without hesitation when they were proven guilty

What a fascinating concept.

Er, Coop, if you were a pro-Patton reporter who was told by the General to "expect the worst" prior to the verdict, would you go around like nothing was wrong? There is a reason you have inside sources, and one of them is so that you can prepare the TRUTH to counter the likes of Murtha.
