They need to drop this BS prosecution altogether.
Axis Sally's legal team wasn't smart enough to try this defense after WWII when she was convicted of treason for her broadcasts in Nazi Germany (while she engaged in criminal and deceiptful exploitation of American POWs in Germany, she was ultimately convicted of treason for a fictional drama).
I misread this at first, and thought the judge was denying the defense the right to see everything. But he’s denying the prosecutors.
Yes, good for him.
The ONLY reason these marines are being prosecuted is because the press made a big thing of it and lied about it. And now the prosecutors don’t want to admit that they were wrong. The press seems to have dropped Haditha like a hot potato.
So the authority to measure and satisfy the public’s right to know is solely the property of the media?
Yes they do.
Yes the Judge did good.
Semper Fi to Judge Meeks.
WOW, as a Former Marine with a journalism degree, rarely do I feel like the interests of free speech, the MSM, and the Corp are all served by one decision!
This is great!

60 Minutes did a hit piece on a military weapons system I worked on ... What 60 Minutes did was, in my mind, criminal-propaganda misreporting.
...”,as a former Marine with a journalism degree,...”?
Are you Dan Rather? LOL
Just messin’ with you Jarhead.
No, but I do have some Microsoft Word documents from 1977, when I served! LOL
Please, people!
If you are not sure of the appropriate abbreviations for our military members try looking them up.
Just use google and you can find them for each of the separate services.
Abbreviations differ from each service especially when you are looking for those ranks in the US Army, US Marine Corps and the US Air Force.
A US Marine Corps Staff Sergeant’s rank is abbreviated: “SSgt”... NOT “SS”.
SS = “Schutzstaffel”
Ugggghhh!!!
This is JAG Corp run wild. These useless bastards have been trying to screw these Haditha Marines for so long that they refuse to lose face by ending this BS. When this Marine gets off JAG and asshat Murtha will be shown to be the jerks they really are.
Bush OWED this Marine a full pardon. Disgusting abuse of a good Marine who fought the bad guys.
