[Non-Sequitur]

Now that we have gotten the John Kerry chest thumping out of the way, I would say that you seem awfully eager to believe the worst about these marines.

And you would be wrong. If I am eager to believe anything it's that they will receive a fairer trial in a general court martial than in a civilian court. If they're innocent then I am convinced they will go free. If they are guilty then they will be convicted and punished. I have never said otherwise.

If they're innocent, their lives will be pretty much wrecked anyway due to the trial by media. For instance, see this thread with an article written today: Viewpoint: Breaking Haditha [Time’s Tim McGirk Finds the Marines Guilty].

There has been a trial by media since March and "anonymous DOD sources" have leaked bucketfuls to the MSM. Freepers may dismiss Time and the TV networks as the Dinosaur Media. But they are still how most people in this country get their information and opinions.

I pray justice is done at the court martial. It certainly hasn't been done anywhere else.
