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?

Thanks for looking- I think what you describe is accurate, although it appears the media is dropping this "story" like a hot potato... a comment from LGF:

A stiff breeze is blowing towards the house of cards that is the MSM Haditha narrative:

From Redsate Blog:

It seems Time Magazine has "regretted some errors" in its original publication of the Haditha scandal:

First, it seems that the most damning piece of evidence has not actually been located.

In the original version of this story, TIME reported that "one of the most damning pieces of evidence investigators have in their possession, John Sifton of Human Rights Watch told Time's Tim McGirk, is a photo, taken by a Marine with his cell phone that shows Iraqis kneeling -- and thus posing no threat -- before they were shot." While Sifton did tell TIME that there was photographic evidence, taken by Marines, he had only heard about the specific content of the photos from reports done by NBC, and had no firsthand knowledge. TIME regrets the error.(and the apology's at the bottom -- FB)
