I could really care less about your little ping list since I saw the whole case develop from the INSIDE as it happened. And as I have said repeatedly to you, you have NO clue about what was going on behind the scenes with respect to the UCMJ.
I've no dog in this fight but there's been a lot of name calling going on. Perhaps everyone should step back and take a breath.
Forget the Haditha Marine ping list, let's just say there are well over a hundred FReepers that followed this case from the beginning. RedRover has a site that he's chronicled every article on the Haditha Marines from the beginning. In the articles posted about Gen. Mattis appearing in hearings inre to UCI he never admitted to letting it take place, period. What xzins has said about that is absolutely true and the court of three military JAG officers on the appeals court upheld it.
VR, you've made statements about what took place on the inside but have offered nothing except that everyone take your word for it, feel free to fill us in. If you'd care to learn what actually happened in the courts-martials and various hearings feel free to enlighten yourself by going to the link below.
