Again, things the media never bothers to mention.

(Thanks to Freeper Velveeta for the tip on the doctor.)

Tonight I was in the car at an unusual time and was listening to Michael Savage. Normally I think he is a nut job but tonight he was calling for raising money to get the best lawyers to defend these marines,

I really don't need that new dress I was looking at.....

They demand that the American troops stop occupying the hospital and destroying it every time the attack Haditha.

Remember how Saddam's people would hide and store munitions in hospitals? Do we occupy it to keep 'insurgents' from hiding/being hidden there?

More Haditha background ping.

I listen to Savage and heard him mention that the last few days. I'm sure he will do it. I think he has raised money for police officers and Pantano as well.

Thanks. I'm obviously following this one very closely.

Great job Sam.

>>>>He told Time the Marines claimed the victims had been killed by shrapnel, "But it was obvious to us that there were no organs slashed by shrapnel. The bullet wounds were very apparent. Most of the victims were shot in the chest and the head—from close range."<<<

Please note the 10 year old survivor, Iman (Eman) Walid (Waleed) has SHRAPNEL wounds on her left leg as she shows the reporter here:

Savage is Savage's favorite charity. Don't trust a man who screams the president has given these soldiers up based on what the President has actually said. Savage is not the sanest carrot in the talk radio bunch.

Damn good catch Velveeta! Sam - as always you are the best!

This coupled with the reporter is great work. Hopefully this will be reflected in the official investigation.

[beaversmom]

Savage thinks a lot of Savage but he has raised money for police officers and at least Pantano and they have called him to thank him for it.

[Hot Tabasco]

Normally I think he is a nut job but tonight he was calling for raising money to get the best lawyers to defend these marines

He pushed the same thing for Lt. Pantano but there is no record of how much he contributed to the defense after all his promises..........Go and buy your dress.

[beaversmom]

I'm pretty sure I remember Pantano and Pantano's mom thanking Savage for his help. He has solicited money from his listeners. What makes you think this money didn't get donated?

***US Congressman John Murtha said on Wednesday that a Pentagon investigation into the deaths of civilians in Haditha, Iraq, last November will show that US Marines "killed innocent civilians in cold blood." **

When the investigation is over : If Murtha is found to be wrong we need to go to Capitol Hill with tar and feathers.

For the record, here is the article which first broke this story, from Time Magazine:

One Morning in Haditha

U.S. Marines killed 15 Iraqi civilians in their homes last November. Was it self-defense, an accident or cold-blooded revenge?

A TIME exclusive

By TIM MCGIRK/ BAGHDAD

Mar. 27, 2006

The incident seemed like so many others from this war, the kind of tragedy that has become numbingly routine amid the daily reports of violence in Iraq. On the morning of Nov. 19, 2005, a roadside bomb struck a humvee carrying Marines from Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines, on a road near Haditha, a restive town in western Iraq. The bomb killed Lance Corporal Miguel (T.J.) Terrazas, 20, from El Paso, Texas. The next day a Marine communiqué from Camp Blue Diamond in Ramadi reported that Terrazas and 15 Iraqi civilians were killed by the blast and that "gunmen attacked the convoy with small-arms fire," prompting the Marines to return fire, killing eight insurgents and wounding one other...

Dr. Wahid, director of the local hospital in Haditha, who asked that his family name be withheld because, he says, he fears reprisals by U.S. troops, says the Marines brought 24 bodies to his hospital around midnight on Nov. 19. Wahid says the Marines claimed the victims had been killed by shrapnel from the roadside bomb. "But it was obvious to us that there were no organs slashed by shrapnel," Wahid says. "The bullet wounds were very apparent. Most of the victims were shot in the chest and the head--from close range."
