Ref #107 & 109 —

There is no way that those did not prejudice any possible jury pool.

Also, Ewers comment that Marines are taught to distinguish insurgents from civilians on the battlefield is a lie.

There is no way to distinguish anyone when they are shooting at you. That’s one of the major flippin’ reasons civilians get killed.

I have no doubt that Ewers was riding the bandwagon at that point in time. He got to be “righteous” during his 15 minutes of air time.

Yes, that was some fancy tap dancing by Col. Ewers.

Good reminder, Red, of what Lt. Gen. Chiarelli said early on in the Haditha investigations. Words matter. Appearance of UCI does matter.

He [Ewers] got to be “righteous” during his 15 minutes of air time.

Notice how he tries to explain to LCpl Tatum's lawyers that Frontline manipulated his interview?

“I told the 'Frontline' guy I couldn’t talk about Haditha,” Ewers testified.

LOL! If his statements and appearance on Frontline were his idea of not talking about Haditha, it is illustrative of how he claims he didn't "advise" on Haditha, as well.
