I haven’t been following this story very closely. It sounds like these Marines didn’t actually wantonly kill civilians in Haditha, correct? They pursued some bad guys who used a residence as shelter and some civilians got caught in the crossfire, is that right?
That does not settle the entire case but it's a major step forward. There are two other enlisted Marines awaiting hearings for actions in two other houses and at a white taxi.
Two officers (including Capt Stone) have had hearings. Two more are to come. It's possible that any of the four could be found guilty of dereliction even though there was no crime in the first place (kind of like Scooter Libby).
I believe at least a couple of the accused will go to court martial while the rest will have charges dismissed.
When that happens, John ("They killed innocent civilians in cold blood") Murtha and the media will have a great deal to answer for.
