By golly you're right...I will have to read the story closer. Apparently Phan isn't charged in the homicide issue. This is a seperate assault case involving the same platoon. Man...this is getting complex.
But this introduces another issue...would three NCIS agents be willing to go to risk prison for pissant assault conviction?...Nothing is making much sense here.
Yes, this will get interesting. The North County Times has done excellent reporting, by the by.
I dont know if I ever saw that one, I'll put it on my list! :)
I'll bet if this is true that these men are liberals!
BTW, for any non-locals. This was front page/top right corner large print news. Did WaPO cover it?
As I stated on another tread on this issue, I'll bet if true they are Liberals.
The only two articles I've seen were in the NC Times and the Fresno Bee. I check WaPo daily and haven't seen it there but could have missed it.
Anything in today's NC Times on the fund?
One of the most shocking endings I ever saw.
The real Breaker Morant.
Harry 'Breaker' Harbord Morant (1864 27 February 1902) was an Anglo-Australian drover, horseman, poet and soldier whose renowned skill with horses earned him the nickname "The Breaker." Articulate, intelligent and well educated, he was also a published poet and became one of the better-known "back-block bards" of the 1890s, with the bulk of his work appearing in The Bulletin magazine.
During his service in the Second Boer War, Morant ordered the summary execution of several Afrikaner and African prisoners, which led to his controversial court-martial and execution for murder by the British Army; his death warrant was personally signed by the British commander in South Africa, Lord Kitchener.
In the century since his death Morant has become a folk hero in Australia. His story has been the subject of several books and a major Australian feature film. Even during his lifetime there was a great deal of conflicting information about this romantic but elusive figure, and many of the stories about him are undoubtedly apocryphal.
Hey Red,
Ordering Chinese. I combed the pages today but nothing turned up on the fund. I will email Mark tomorrow and I'll comb again then too.
Night Night.
Night, flyer. Sleep well.
Sorry. Don't have an answer. I am only on the fringes of this ongoing charade. I'll Qualify. All these Marines should not even be in the states but back with their Marine units killing goons.
Red,
Morning. Coffee and email. I'll let you know if I hear back from Mark or find anything.
"I'll Qualify."
Somehow, I don't doubt that!
Ditto to you on post 33.
Nada on the NCTimes website, last I looked.
We are all over the map...so I can still say Good morning to you! Did you hear that the NCIS has bought out all the running shoes in the DC area? It's every leaker for themselves.....they can run for now, but they are not going to make it to the finish line.
Enjoy your day!
