The very same media that has convicted the Marines in the court of public opinion has a problem with airing the views of this Marine Father. Several dedicated FReepers have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to inform the public about the unreported side of Haditha. Many of us bloggers have written story after story about Haditha. But we just don't have a wide enough audience. The public deserves to hear from Mr. Sharratt. Instead we get more of Murtha and his "slow bleed" of treason. There are two sides to this story but only one is getting told.
We spoke up in unison and got an apology from Alan Colmes. We can do it again to get Justin's story told. Speak up - Spread the word. It's the least we can do for the Marines charged in the Haditha incident and their families.
Robin is right as rain.
Marines were physically abused for months to extract confessions in the Hamdania case. That should be a source of national outrage but, instead, has been completely ignored.
In the 2nd Lt Nathan Phan case, the revelation that NCIS investigators falsified statements (while a JAG approved of the destruction of evidence) should have made headlines from coast-to-coast.
In the Haditha case, nobody in the media is interested in the story from the non-terrorist viewpoint.
So we’re starting a campaign to change that.
If you have a favorite radio or TV news / commentary show, please ask them to have Haditha Marine father, Darryl Sharratt, as a guest. You've heard Darryl speak here and know he is a powerful advocate for justice for all the Haditha Marines.
I don't believe in e-mail spam campaigns. They're too easy to dismiss. So I'd just like to suggest that, since you're already at a computer, think of someone who OUGHT to be talking about the treatment of our Marines and give them a shout.
Let's make something happen. Your help in this is very much appreciated.

PS. Robin also sent me a Freepmail to say she is the proud purchaser of this lovely new sweatshirt. Its message is one to share loudly and proudly:
Wouldn't you or a loved one (or even the whole family) look great in one of these babies? You'll find this sweatshirt and an array of products (whose purchase will help support the Haditha Marines) at CaféPress.com.
And remember to visit JustinSharratt.com for lots of info, a blog, and more photos than you can shake a stick at.
Thanks for listening!
