RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Prosecutors want to drop contempt proceedings against two Marines who refused to testify against their former squad leader when he was being tried for the killings of four unarmed Iraqi detainees. Los Angeles-based U.S. Attorney Thomas O'Brien filed the motion Monday, asking U.S. District Judge Stephen Larson to drop the charges against Sgt. Ryan Weemer and Sgt. Jermaine Nelson. They refused to testify at the civilian trial of former Marine Jose Luis Nazario Jr., who was found not guilty of charges that he killed or caused others to kill four detainees in Fallujah, Iraq, in 2004. Weemer and Nelson face courts martial on charges of unpremeditated murder and dereliction of duty. Both maintain their innocence.

That’s what it says and this one says different. I hadn’t seen the other one. So, that makes two of us that are confused.

These charges are symptomatic of the kind of idiotic bureaucratic Bovine Excrement that is destroying faith in our government at all levels.
Gung Ho!

God bless them... every one... and their families.
I just don’t understand why this ever was allowed to happen. We have a Republican President! Where was the bully pulpit?
