Thanks for the ping, Red.

The main hope of the prosecution will be the "white taxi". They have a witness, Sgt Dela Cruz, who bombed at the Article 32 hearing so it's still a shaky case at best.

Is SSgt Wuterich still being charged with the deaths at the taxi? Nat's article says charges stem from the deaths of 15 citizens.

Yes, still charged with the deaths at the “white taxi”. It’s always been difficult to “true up” the numbers. You’ll recall that even though the allegation was that 24 Iraqis were killed, the Marines were individually charged with the deaths of less than that number.

And it’s more confusing now because it’s been decided to use numbers for the alleged victims in court rather than names.

I need to spend some time with the (recently revised) charges and try to make sense of the numbers. Will let you know what I find out.

I figured it'd be good to create a chronology: What Happened in Haditha?.
