No Haditha Cover Up. (Vanity, can't confirm yet)

Heard on Fox that Pentagon sources have concluded there was no cover up in Haditha contrary to Murtha's claim. Still waiting on web posting or something. Last I heard is that relatives have refused to allow the bodies to be exhumed which combined with no cover up, if true, would make it near impossible for the Marines to be charged with murder. If the military thought murder charges were going to be brought they would confine the Marines pending court martial.

The whole source of this crap was one discredited human rights activist that even the human rights groups don't want to claim because he's so bad at the set up.

This article from the LA Times is dated June 17th, 3 days ago and this is the first I'm hearing it!

Wasn't Murtha on 'This Week; Sunday, 2 days ago claiming 'there had to have been a cover up, no doubt about it'?

Have I been asleep at the wheel? The fact that there was no cover-up was reported SATURDAY and this is the first I'm hearing of that finding.

Same here. Probably was reported on Saturday because no one is supposed to be paying attention that day.

" Wasn't Murtha on 'This Week; Sunday, 2 days ago claiming 'there had to have been a cover up, no doubt about it'?"

See post 15. Murtha, in addition to looking like a disloyal !@#$, really looks like a blubbering idiot if you look at all the contradictions between what he says and the fact that unfold.

The Visual Media has purposely avoided it at least through Sunday so they won't have to call Murtha a liar while he made his Sunday rounds.

Turda should resign if he had an ounce of dignity or was a real Marine.

Pray for W and the Hidatha Marines

This is good news, but don't get overjoyed just yet: it doesn't mean nothing happened. It means the Marines INVESTIGATED it like they were supposed to. The actual "incident" investigation is separate from the "coverup" investigation.

[txrangerette]

Has been explained before, but the shackeled Marines were in another pending case, not Haditha. And the father of one of THEM says they are now unshackled but still held.

My guess ... the women and kids were actually the ones deploying the IEDs and taking pot shots.

[tobyhill]

The cover-up was half the allegation and unless the "victims" are exhumed murder charges are going to be real tough.

[GOP_1900AD]

Yes indeed .... Time mag .... all Haditha, every issue ....

[blogblogginaway]

Well if this doesn't beat all. A 'no cover-up' finding known for 3 days and one outlet has reported on it. Isn't that all we heard over and over and over again? An accusation of 'COVER-UP"??? The MSM couldn't WAIT to get Murtha on to scream COVER-UP COVER-UP!!!!

How blatantly obvious can the MSM be? Giving a traitor like Murtha air time to make his allegations against our finest fighting to protect us all and ignoring the fact that Murtha was WRONG!


May they all ro........, well nevermind.

Good to hear...there are reports out there saying Haditha Marines were shackeled.

And the father of one of THEM says they are now unshackled but still held.
Is this the other case that Marines were shackeled in? And what case is that?

Reports of no cover-up dont matter to people like Murtha. They will still claim th marines are guilty an the new investigation is a cover-up/ Wait: you will hear it, it will come.

Lt Ilario Pantano on Scarborough Country right now

[tobyhill]

I saw him and thought he was a bit too kind to Murtha but made a lot of sense, quit supporting the enemy to sum it up.

[ErieGeno]

Murtha claims that he was told by the 'military', which is often repeated by liberal hacks like Alan Colmbs (FOX News)? Why won't anyone ask Mr Murtha and Mr Colmbs who in the 'military' passed that information along to Murtha? If Mr Murtha was, in fact, told by someone from the 'military' that cold blooded murder was committed, then that someone must have a name? An establishment, such as the 'military' cannot tell Mr Murtha jack-$hit, however a person from the military could have. Who is that person????????????? I'm waiting Mr Murtha! And I'm waiting Mr Colmbs!

"I'm inclined to believe that Murtha fell for a "sting" of sorts."

The "sting" was Murtha's own stupidity, hatred of President Bush, contempt for the Marine Corps and his desire to win a position of power after disgracing the Bush administration...

There are some, like myself, who believe a strong motive for his traitorous behavior is to be able to claim he is targeted only for his anti-war status, when the corruption investigation get close enough to his ass..
