Haditha Video Doctored by Investigators

This case gets more and more rancid by the hour. How could our most hallowed branch of the American military fall so far in so short a time? How could our own government seek to destroy war time heroes to try and appease defeatists and surrender monkeys? I do not have the answer to those questions. I just hope the Marines on these juries will stand tall for their Corps and our nation and do the right thing, regardless of the pressure from Washington to convict.

[Darkwolf377]

The reason, according to an inside source: to avoid showing anything that exonerates the Marines who were accused of murdering the victims.

Why would the government do this?

[DakotaRed]

What kind of people is it that work so hard to cause their own country to lose a war? What sort of people would go so far as to try to convict our warriors for doing their duty?

God help us if we cannot counter these new Bolsheviks.

Thomas More Law Center, the attorneys for LCol. Chessani, have known about this since at least April, and brought it up the chain to SECNAV and the JCS -- to no apparent avail.

We need to get the traitors and their supporters ousted and banished. Were it up to me, I'd strip them of their citizenship and remove them from the country.

Bombshell Cripples Case Against Haditha Marines

This officer, described by senior Marine Corps superiors as one of the best and most dedicated intelligence officers in the entire Marine Corps, was in possession of evidence which provided a minute-by-minute narrative of the entire day's action — material which he had amassed while monitoring the day's action in his capacity as the battalion's intelligence officer. That material, he says, was also in the hands of the NCIS. Much of that evidence remains classified, but it includes videos of the entire day's action, including airstrikes against insurgent safe houses. Also included was all of the radio traffic describing the ongoing action between the men on the ground and battalion headquarters, and proof that the Marines were aware that the insurgents conducting the ambush of the Kilo Company troops were videotaping the action — the same video that after editing ended up in the hands of a gullible anti-war correspondent for Time magazine.

And the MSM wonders why we don't trust them.

[freekitty]

Maybe it’s time to start holding CNN responsible for their actions and others like them.

What about my Brother Officers (Border Patrol) rotting in jail for shooting that turd Illegal Alien at the border??

Same crap, different war zone...

[weegee]

Nifong. Stalin...

[weegee]

A runaway “justice” system (or injustice system). One that values convictions and “trophies” and “equal representation” in prison.

[Captainpaintball]

I wonder if that f--kweasel Scott Pelle will mention this on the next 60 Minutes. His story last week on haditha made me sick.

[wastedyears]

Something’s gonna give way, and it ain’t gonna be pretty.

Why would the government do this?

I get the distinct impression that the NCIS investigators are out for convictions above all other considerations. The investigating officer and the defense teams should have full access to the unedited footage.

I don't get the connection. The same people aren't involved with both cases.

[Darkwolf377]

Nifong. Stalin...

Well, that may make you feel good, but I'm actually looking for some facts to support the idea that the government is after these people.

[Darkwolf377]

Why wouldn't they have this access? Why would the government be trying to frame these soldiers?

As with the border patrol agents mentioned elsewhere, we have to hold high standards for our troops, which are superior morally and in terms of training, than all others. It seems that the government would want to uphold those standards.

So what would be the government's movites for framing them?

I'm not looking for rhetoric and emotion. I'm looking for facts--where are the facts that the government is framing these people?

Here’s an interesting excerpt from the newly published book about President Bush, called Dead Certain.

“At one point he growled at a CIA briefer, “Since whatever you tell me in the PDB is in the New York Times two or three days later, why don’t we just cut out this middle stage? Just give it directly to the Times and I’ll find out about it in my morning press briefing.”

[Darkwolf377]

That’s funny.

[patriciaruth]

Actually, I don’t find it funny that so much of our government is in the hands of commie sympathizers and fellow travellers.

[Darkwolf377]

Well, the comment is funny, but it doesn’t count as facts in the specific case this thread is about. In fact, no one seems to have any facts about why the government would do this—
Because there are commies in it” isn’t a factual answer, it’s an assertion.

[patriciaruth]

Why are you here on FR?

[Darkwolf377]

Why are you here on FR?

Because I like to have facts with which to debate liberal idiots who have none.

If someone wanting hard facts to use to defend conservative priciples confuses you so much, I have to wonder why YOU'RE here on FR.
