1. Murtha made obscene and treasonous PUBLIC charges against the Marines currently charged. To date, charges have been dropped against 4 of the 7 Marines.
2. Murtha can make or break a Military Contractor from his position on the House Subcommittee on Defense Appropriations.
3. Murtha is STRONGLY motivated to see at least some Marines charged with violating the ROE and going on a “wild, cold blooded killing spree”.
4. Current Sec. of the Navy has had STRONG ties to several corporations who rely upon HEAVY military spending — initiated from Murtha’s Subcommittee...
5. Current Sec. of the Navy will very likely return to the Corporate world when the “new administration” comes in in 2009.
6. It would seem this Sec. of the Navy is subject to excessive pressure to ensure there is at lease SOMEONE hung out to dry to help get Murtha off the hook.....and “earn” his “gratitude”..
7. The poster is concerned that “political/financial issues” may color the integrity of the persecution..... And, I meant persecution..... The private and military defense attorneys have been kicking the persecution's ass all over the courtroom — BUT - the persecution only need to “hang” one Marine to provide cover for Murtha’s treasonous remarks against them....
Murtha needs to be charged, sued or simply flushed — which is appropriate for the turd that he has become..
I agree with everything in your post except to note that your reply, like this article, does not explain ‘shadow conspiracy.’ I haven’t read all the articles about Haditha, but I have been following this since the beginning. Then a new wrinkle appeared: the ‘shadow conspiracy,’ and I have not seen an article that explains this ‘shadow conspiracy’ adequately.
And those steps are?
(This omission is what prompted my criticism.)
I have thought that for some time now, RR. It is so true.
Also, the liberals benefit if they can extend their defeat on Haditha until AFTER this next election. I believe that undue command influence groups will see that this is put on a back burner until the election, and that after the election it will be settled quickly before the next administration takes over.....
(Unless it's a Hillary victory, in which case she will declare martial law, form a dictatorship, and throw all her opponents in jail. /sarcasm)
He should have been fragged a long time ago.
