why is it you take the word of Iraqi's over a Marine?

Good question, pink. Of course, NavySec Winter took the word of NCIS agents over Marines.

Even after three Marines signed affadavits that their testimony had been falsified in the Lt Phan, Winter refused to investigate NCIS conduct. Winter said he knew NCIS agents were honest.

And what does that make the Marines?

Isn't it interesting that when a reporter asks for comments from the Marine Corps, their spokesperson will usually say something like we can't comment on an on-going case {or something to that effect}.

But when the NCIS tactics are questioned, their spokesperson comes to their defense. From the NY Times article, at the bottom, An N.C.I.S. spokesman, Ed Buice, said in an e-mail message that no federal law enforcement agency regularly taped interviews.

Of course one conclusion to Mr. Buice's comments might be that not recording interviews offers deniability when a witness complains they didn't say what was attributed to them.
