June 11, 2006 – San Francisco, CA – PipeLineNews.org - Neal A. Puckett, defense attorney for Staff Sgt. Frank D. Wuterich - who led a team of Marines into a now controversial battle in Haditha on November 19 – states in the June 11 edition of the Washington Post that US forces that day were strictly following rules of engagement and expressly refuted charges of indiscriminate use of force:
"It will forever be his position that everything they did that day was following their rules of engagement and to protect the lives of Marines," said Neal A. Puckett, who represents Wuterich in the ongoing investigations into the incident. "He's really upset that people believe that he and his Marines are even capable of intentionally killing innocent civilians."
Sgt. Wutterich’s first person account differs sharply from band-aid warrior John Murtha’s who charged that Marines in Haditha, “killed innocent civilians in cold blood,” and following that statement by telling ABC News, "I will not excuse murder and that what's happened."
As many internet sites including Sweetness & Light and the The American Thinker are now concluding, this “massacre” originally foisted upon the American public by Time magazine [which is stuck in retraction mode on this one] is going South…fast.
This is shaping up to be a potential and major tipping point, making refutation of the leftist’s critique of the war in Iraq all the more likely.
Don't underestimate the stupidty of large groups of people, especialy if they're Dems.

"Marines Held In Camp Pendleton For Alleged Murder"
http://www.freerepublic.com/f-chat/1644920/posts?page=10#10
"...They are SHACKLED 24 HOURS and being KEPT IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT and NO formal charges have been brought against them..."
Proof that Murtha is not dealing with a full deck. I thought "Stretch" Pelosi was his mentor?!?!
***RELEASE THEM FROM THOSE CHAINS !!!***
Yes and WE need this message to get out to the public. These MARINES are the reasons we don't have terrorists walking our streets. Murtha, Hanoijohn, and more are TRAITORS and that needs to get into WE the PEOPLES minds so we will vote them out of office. God Bless those MARINES and get those CHAINS off of them. Put the CHAINS on the TRAITORS!
Yeah, just look at the majority of Massasschusetts voters who are dumb enough to keep re-electing Kennedy, Kerry, and Barney. Actually, Kennedy and Murtha look alike. Both heads are pickled.
I hope he knows that the only people who could believe this are the same ones that believe that President Bush planned and executed 9-11.
The vast majority of us love, admire and respect them with all our hearts.
God bless them.

I'd just as soon wait and see what the formal Marine investigation concludes rather than rely on the speculation of media and websites with their own bias.
Marine, no one who matters believes that.
Let's hope. Who's he running against?
What's utterly unbelieveable to me is that a former Marine can't and doesn't even cut the Marines any slack in terms of looking into this fully before announcing to the entire world "what happened" as if he has a F clue.
To McGavin999: ...Well said!
I sympathize with Sgt. Wuterlich. It must hurt a lot to be falsely accused, and to know that that there are some who believe it.
Well, I don't believe it. I like how McGavin999 said it:
"Marine, no one who matters believes that."
