That is an impressive examination of the contradictions in the Haditha story. The media are ignoring the contradictions and weaving conspiracy theories instead against Americans. If the story does indeed prove to be false, it will vanish like it never happened. For most Americans, who get their information from the snippets on the evening news before they watch Survivor, the story will go away unnoticed and they will be left with a vague idea that some Marines were guilty of a massacre somewhere. The Haditha story will have cast doubt on our soldiers and it will thus have achieved its purpose in helping our enemies. I'm not optimistic that anyone in the MSM will face any consequences. There are too many people involved in the "lynching party."

I am extremely confident that the blowback will shatter the MSM, if the "massacre" meme falls apart, which looks like it will.

Freepers and the blogosphere and Rush and Laura I. and the WSJ and Fox will bury them.

Maybe what is needed is some old-fashioned group/vigilante action then....to force the media owners to make the journalists face some consequences for these constant attacks on our military, with false and fake reporting. If enough people speak out for (or demand) reform in the MSM, how can they just igore it?
