I think some Freepers are putting their heads in the sand, rather than realizing that what makes us GREAT is that when such atrocities occur with our fighting forces, WE identify it, WE prosecute it, WE try it, and WE address it.

Bogus premise. There's no contradiction between saying on the one hand that everyone is innocent until proven guilty...and if proven guilty, offenders should bear the consequences. If anything, I believe some Freepers are rushing to judgment, throwing Marines under the bus based upon media reports.

Why is it that willingness to assume the worst makes us great, but presumption of innocence does not?

You apparently missed the gist of the whole post: word is now circulating by Pentagon sources to CONSERVATIVES that there is something to this investigation. The investigation is finished---they are now deciding on charges, etc. So it's not a bogus premise at all.
