Something tis not right. I agree, Marine Uncle. From Nathaniel Helm's article,

A senior Marine officer familiar with both the Fallujah allegations and the Marines under suspicion labeled the investigation a "fishing expedition." All of the Marines being questioned are decorated warriors who have been repeatedly identified as among the finest infantrymen in this country.

The senior Marine officer opined that NCIS is more interested in discrediting potential witnesses for the defense in the Haditha case than determining if multiple murders were committed by 3rd Platoon Marines at Fallujah. The Haditha case is receiving international attention as well as a focal point in the Pentagon’s latest campaign to get American warriors to play by the “new” rules. No doubt the Fallujah allegations will ignite more of the same reaction. The Iraqis who instigated both fights intended it to be that way.

“There is no crime scene, no victims, no bodies, and no witnesses except the unsubstantiated allegations of one and possibly two Marines. Until they told NCIS there wasn't even a report of a crime," the officer said. “Who does this serve?”

That's a question that I would like answered, "Who does this serve?"

It serves the biased media and the anti-war, anti-American yahoos who would like nothing more than to see us fail. They keep grasping at straws trying to find some kind of My Lai to shame our country into pulling out of Iraq. They tried with Abu Ghraib. When that didn’t work, they tried with Haditha. Since that’s not going as planned, they’ve latched on to another incident.

When the media starts covering stories like the entire village massacred (including children beheaded) by Al Qaeda or the story about the 11 year old boy cooked and served to his family to scare them into submission to Al Qaeda - then the media will gain a tiny bit of crediblity with me. Until then they can piss off.
