While I like Malkin’s article, there’s really nothing new in it. If you’d been keeping up with FR & Defend our Marines, that entire article was all old stuff. Hats off to the solid crew at Defendour Marines, Thomas More, Free Republic, etc.

I remember early on when even the conservative media wouldn’t touch the Haditha Marines. They were waiting for a trend, they had their fingers in the wind, and they weren’t gonna speak until they knew which way it was blowing.

That’s the truth and I’m sticking by it.

Defend our Marines, Thomas More, Nat Helms, Phil Brennan, and the lawyers of the other falsely accused Haditha warriors are the real heroes here.

Just like the senior civilian and military officials who decided to prosecute these cases.

Agree. Early on there were also a lot of bloggers who refused to believe the worst of our Marines and dug through the intial reporting. Sweetness and Light, Riehl World View, Captains Journal are a few that come to mind. And lest we forget, all the people who donated money to the defense funds were essential.
