...there was no war crime.

Even prosecutors must know that by now. Losing every other case should have taught them that much. Why they are continuing to pursue SSgt Wuterich is anyone's guess.

One would think the Marine Corp would be happy the so-called Hiditha Massacre has been debunked. Is there anyone out there who could provide some incite as why it is in the Marine Corps’ interest to keep stoking this thing?

Agree. Everything is not being put out on the table. If part of the reason is that there was a promise they would try these guys to somehow let the Iraqi people know we would bring our folks to account for said crimes (we know where not crimes), then I could see their persistence to a degree, EARLIER on.
But at this point when the evidence is so clear no crime was committed or for that matter any broken clause of the ROE, just what the heck do they expect to happen.
They can't punish someone that did not break the rules. At this point any inquiries from the Iraqi authorities should have been put to rest. A clear explanation given as to why there where no grounds to bring any charges against any of them after all the evidence (lack of evidence) was provided.
This whole affair continues to stink of politics brought on from the far left.
