Continued prayers for these brave Marines.

Thanks, mrs! And please keep ‘em coming.
The best policy.
The pathologist called by the prosecution backup the story of the Marines. The men were shot at close range, but not execution style. It is going to be close range when you are in a room, but there were no powder burns to show an execution -style shooting.

I’ve looked all over. Free Republic really is the only place where a person can get the real story about what’s going on in the Haditha case.
One reason, as you know, is that Freepers are rigorous people. We challenge each other to back up what we say. So we’re not just speculating. We also don’t sugar coat bad news.
You’re right. The cries of “whitewash” will be loud, strong and ugly if justice prevails.
Did not appear??? This is an exact science and one can be absolutely certain. Gunpowder burn and residue. Wound ballistics, etc.
Thanks for pointing that out, yojoe.
I’ll also mention that the accusations of an execution came from Iraqis who weren’t there when it happened.
But investigators, like SA Mannle, took their word over the word of our Marines.
The bodies were not exhumed for examination so NCIS forensic investigators are doing their best with what they have.
Great post/thread. America’s finest BUMP!

This is just stunning to me.
She was following orders to gather incriminating evidence. If NavySec Winter continues to deny there’s a problem at NCIS, he’s an utter fool.
