At the risk of being flamed, I agree with you.

The war of the future in 60Minutesville:
Each squad is accompanied by three lawyers and five journalists. Before each operation, the lawyers and journalists decide exactly what is going to happen. They inform the enemy exactly where the attack will be and what our plans are. As we enter each step of the operation, a forward squad of lawyers and journalists will check each building, knocking politely and asking permission to enter. Instead of guns, our troops will be given sling shots with orders to only shoot the ground in front of the enemies...

Oh, and by 60Minutesville language, the only real enemy can only be our own troops.

Okay. I think it turned a lot better than I expected. Frank held his own, came across extremely thoughtful and judicious. Yes, there were some stinky parts to the accusations, but overall, I was impressed with Frank.

I was expecting a lot worse.

Scott Pelley needs an Oscar for his trembling voice and other dramatics. Other than that, Frank stood up for his men!

Did anybody catch, Frank didn't fire in either of the first 2 houses, yet he's charged with murder of 11 I think in those houses?

Just caught this because the Amazing Race is on late tonight. My goodness. I'm having a hard time thinking of when I've ever seen a more self-righteous, judgemental piece of crap than Pelley showed himself to be tonight. And the token 30 seconds with his lawyers to explain the Sargeant's side? Yeah, that was fair and even handed. I'm simply disgusted.

I was hoping this wouldn't turn out this way because his lawyers seemed to want it aired. It sounds like you're right.

One thing that has always jumped out at me...and they said it tonight.

The bodies of the killed were shown to someone the day after the attack...

I thought Muslims had to bury their dead the same day...why were they left there??

Based on this post, I doubt you could ever walk five feet in the boots of any 'Private Pyle'. I bet the Birkenstocks fit well on you though..

I stand by you too! You go Jonathan and don't let the liver lily *astards get you down. You are our hero too.

Scott Pelley, Anti American piece of garbage! I honestly don't think I can despise the OLD MEDIA (MSM) anymore than I already do!!!

I could kick his girly *ss! He is NOTHING compared to our military men and women, absolutely NOTHING! They aren't obligated to answer any of his damn questions.

I believe that the Sgt. gained nothing by appearing on CBS. I do not understand why his legal counsel permitted him to do so.

I think that if he would have broken down and cried in front of the camera and apologized to every Muslim in the world the Marine sergeant would have been welcomed by CBS as their new poster-boy for the left.

The liberal, scum CBS reporter is the same slime-ball that interviewed Bush twice. I have read that Bush likes him.

CBS's Scott Pelley To President Bush: Do You Owe the Iraqi People an Apology?

Bump. He's a nancyboy and worse. A sniveling, elitist twit. The enemy within.

OK - just did some checking... CBS admitted that this interview was filmed in October
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070316/ap_on_re_us/marines_haditha_2

But the WaPo story with the leaked photos and investigation info that Pelley used tonight was not published until January 6, 2007.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/05/AR2007010502248_pf.html

Hit piece is a mild term for what this turned out to be...

Also - There's been no hearing so how can Pelley say Frank will be courtmartialed sometime this year?
