Why are you so gung ho to convict them without even having the trial or completeing the Investigation?I'm not. I'm just presenting my opinion, based on what I've read and what I've heard from people at Camp Pendleton.
Laura Ingraham is saying that her sources at the Pentagon--who are, presumably, not leftist ideologues out to smear the troops--are saying that it's not looking good. Does that make her "gung ho to convict them?" No, it means that the people she's talking to are saying it looks bad. I'm pointing out specific areas where I've heard that it looks bad.
The folks I'm talking to are saying the same thing as the folks Laura has been talking to at the Pentagon, they're just talking from a vantage point in Camp Pendleton.
You are all over Freeper today trying to be judge and jury on this.
No, I'm not; I'm just another guy opining on the events of the day. I wasn't aware that there was an official line that must be adhered to at all costs.

Are you saying that Laura I. and/or her sources could not possibly be mistaken or even possibly being misled?
I've heard a half dozen versions of what happened since this first broke last year, and literally hundreds of different spins from all spectrum of the political wilderness, and I think we owe it to our soldiers not to engage in petty speculation bordering on vicious gossip.
Let it go until the investigations are concluded....
Then, if any charges are filed, take those with a grain of salt until they are fairly tried, which is supposed to be the bedrock foundation of our legal system, civilian or military, which is "Innocent until proved guilty".
Consider we've been down this road a few times with other allegations over the last few years and exactly how did those turn out?

The official line is the finalized official report coming out of the investigation. But considering what Ilario Pantano went thru, such investigation certainly isn't an end all to the circumstances involved is it?
Innocent till proven guilty is the official line Horsester........
