NOW: Nothing in the report points to a "knowing cover-up" of the facts
BEFORE:"There has to have been a coverup of this thing," Rep. John P. Murtha "No question about it."

I agree... However, Bush or Rummy needs to free those Marines. Heck they have not even been CHARGED!
Why wait for an election.
Sadly, I can't see Bush doing anything about this.
Part of the reasons why include the lib media. Let Bush tell Murtha to shut it and the entire leftist media establishment would go on with it's usual cries of "first amendment!", "he's an infalliable(sp?) marine!" and so on.......
Apparently PBS is out there with their darth vader/cheney "dark side" special. I hope this media liberalism stops soon. My head is going to explode.
They can't be freed until they've gone through the process and been exhonerated - which I believe some or all will. I hope those who ARE will be able to contunie their military careers without prejudice. (probably a vain hope)
There are any number of Officers in the chain of command who could order their release. What pisses me off is that none of them have.
To many Officers in the Corps seem to have fallen into the PC group and have become lambs instead of Lions.
How can there be a 'cover-up' before the report on what actually occurred is finished? How can you 'cover-up' something that may not have occurred?
In connection with his playing JAG, judge, and jury of our Marines in Haditha, thus compromising their case and skipping over "innocent until proven guilty," Murtha and his ilk are important friends of our enemy. I suspect that Murtha is not intelligent enough to realize that he has become a useful idiot to the leftists in this country and the terrorists abroad. Or Murtha is simply so blinded by hate for Bush that he has abandoned our marines. I heard a Marine on the Mike Savage Show suggest that Murtha's hero claims from his military service are questionable, even more questionable than the claims of Kerry. I agree with the Swift Vets "Unfit for Command." Their book has a compelling argument supported by facts. Murtha is right up there alongside with the seditious Cindy Sheehan.
If the current administration wants to talk about amnesty let it be blanket amnesty for all of our soldiers in the battlefield fighting subhumans with a total disdain for life. We put our soldiers in shackles and jail for scaring enemy combatants who would not hesitate to gouge out the eyes of our children. The friend of our enemy is not my friend.
bttt
The behavior of the politicos and the treatement of the accused Marines is eerily similar to the Duke non-case, innit?
Two words for Murtha: TERM LIMITS. That SOB has been in office since 1974.
FYI
That's a different case altogether, however there is a limited amount of time that they can be held, once that time has expired they will be released if no charges have been brought.
IMO, the preemptive lefty strike by the Murthas and the media have removed release as an option. They'll have to wait until the investigation into THEIR actions is complete.
But never fear, Col Day is on the job and they'll have the best defense possible.
I think the people that need to be investigated (and locked up prior to it's completion) are Murtha and all the other egg sucking maggots who convicted these boys before they were even charged.
Murtha is a scumbag and soils the Eagle Globe and Anchor by the very FACT that his maggot arse EVER wore it.
Are the Haditha Marines currently in confinement? I thought the three soldiers charged with killing three Iraqi detainees were in confinement.
John Podherst on Brian & the Judge. Outraged!!!
