JAMIE MCINTYRE, SENIOR PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: 
GARY SOLIS, MILITARY LAW PROFESSOR:


MCINTYRE: And that might help explain why so far prosecutors have had trouble making murder charges stick. Charges have been dropped against two marines, another is waiting a decision. Is there a tendency to give marine soldiers in combat a benefit of a doubt?

SOLIS: I think that's another problem in this case. You have a military jury, probably most of whom, if not all of whom, will have been in Iraq.

..

SOLIS: It would be difficult to say that justice has been served if no one is convicted for Haditha.

In my view, it's difficult to tolerate self-indulging speculation at the expense of the U.S. Marines.
