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.
Yah. The Marines (and the rest of us) aren't out of the woods yet.
I agree and if there was a real crime committed then those responsible should suffer the consequences but "no cover up" shows that if crimes were committed the buck stops there.
He was selling his book - took a stab the best way he could without over-doing it. But I did like what he said about how he didn't like Murtha using the Marines for his political gain. Although it would have been fun to hear him blast him more, he made his point.
You're right but sometimes I wish these guest would tell the pre-interviewers that they will speak nice then go out there and rip away like the lib guest always seem to do.
Why? It would just damage the bat.
See post #14. That would be more fun anyhow.
Interesting angle. We haven't seen the end of that whole thing. That said, I pray this is true. Although I can't say I'm particularly surprised.
Yah, that's why I say it's at least partially good news.
I was trying to be polite!
