Unfortunately, none of the Marines will ever be exonerated in the court of public opinion (the recent death of Richard Jewel is a reminder of that). Soldiers and Marines are engaged in an unpopular war that the media, and certain politicians, will attempt to end by any means at their disposal--including creating a My Lai out of tragic deaths in Haditha.
If you're interested in what we've learned so far about what really happened in Haditha, I've posted the Investigating Officer's report on the LCpl Sharratt case and the LCpl Tatum case. The summary of facts and the conclusions are worth reading.
Like you, I hope all the facts will come out and that justice will be swift in coming.
From YOUR post of the 60 minutes interview ...
“Wuterich says the back door of the house was open. He hadn’t seen the gunman, but he assumed the gunman fled next door.”
From YOUR except of the Tatum Case -
“After the gunfire ceased, SSgt Wuterich announced that someone ran out of the house toward house 2 (as identified in the investigation). SSgt Wuterich ordered the Marines to leave house 1 and pursue the runner into house 2.”
???
... and you wonder why people have questions ?
