Yes, please see his profile page. It's impressive so far.

Great work. And it is shaping up about how many of us suspected.

What gets my blood boiling is that there are so few avenues to get this information out besides places like here on FR where it's mostly just preaching to the choir.

Meanwhile the cursed MSM spews their bullsh*t to the entire world night and day.

Thanks for your hard work in bringing all this together. It truly looks like a setup and the rush to crucify these Marines is a pathetic lynch mob mentality by the MSM and Murtha.

Support Diana Irey for Congress and retire the hangman.

Why has there not been any word from the defense about Haditha? Maybe trying to prove a negative with scant evidence in a difficult part of the world has become a formidable task.

While the case is being built for the defense, the Left is having a field day fabricating a story out of the Mai Lai play book.

No, it's spreading accross the blog world quickly, especially since it is the bloggers who are doing most of the fisking.

Rush had a segment on his show yesterday, so look for this to continue to get exposure. As long as we keep pressing.

It's time that we start calling John Murtha , John Benedict Arnorld Murtha. That might be an insult to General Arnold who was one of the best mi.itary minds early in the war for independence. We don't remember that, only he turning against America later in his career. Jack Murtha is the same, a hero early and a true traitor later. Carry on Benedict Murtha.

The initial reports at Time credited the Human Rights Watch for coming forth with the information about Haditha

The fascinating factoid I discovered is the Chairman of the
Middle East Advisory Committee is Gary Sick.

Gary Sick is the creator of the October Surprise that accused Reagan/Bush of having a deal to release the Iranian hostages after the Bush election.

The interesting parallel is that Sick's October Surprise is based on unsourced individuals-bascially rumors which cannot be verified.

You are THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!

Do we know if all this great homework is passed on to the defense teams for the Marines?

Did I miss the report on a recent Brit trial for these same type of 'crimes' that went bust when all "witnesses" admitted to lying - to get more money.

The British Govt spent over 18M USD (what that is in pounds, I don't know, but a lot for sure) only to have the case dismissed 4 hours into the trail for lack of any evidence.

Makes ya wonder, huh?

Freedom of speech isn't license to lie or slander or help an enemy. Al-Qaida has said that their attacks are designed to keep them in the news cycle. They know that can't win or even capture territory, only a headline. Our media is their forum.

So, at what point can Americans sue the media? If this story turns out to be yet another hit job, then it is our Marine Corp they have slandered for political reasons. "Just don't watch" or "just don't buy the paper" doesn't really satisfy and does little to make them be accountable.

These media people have the capacity to do damage to our nation, our troops and to our cause yet seem to feel no compulsion to simply do their jobs and report the unbiased news. Over and over, it's the same scenario, whether it's Dan Rather or Katrina or Haditha or whatever. There is no reprisal except in their sales or ratings, but the reporter or editor doesn't take the hit. That's not right. We live in a country that's got way too many lawyers. Well, here's a golden opportunity for them to do some good!

Traitorous Murtha needs to go down!

Agreed.

Thanks for looking-- the wife-unit is running me ragged with housekeeping today, so I can't answer everybody-- but I appreciate the remarks and pings.

Thanks for calling that to everyone's attention.

A Freeper suggested suing the press on the basis of a "defective product" which usually wins in court.

Children “survivors” - Coached?

Here’s a video of an interview with several of the child “survivors”.

Thanks for gathering all this info into 1 place.

The real question IMO is: The statements by politicans indicitating the Marines are guilty will be used by the enemy as propaganda to turn people in Iraq and the Middle East against this country.

In Iraq this sort of anger could lead to the deaths of more US troops and potentially lengthing the campaign in Iraq.

If as it appears the Haditha incident is a hoax perpritrated by the terrorist, are the statements of politicans who falsly accused their fellow Americans of murder treasonous, don't these statements constitute giving AID and Comfort to the enemy?
