Haditha Story Falling Apart

I honestly no longer believe the Murtha version of events regarding Haditha. Do these allegations come from wanting more blood money or from the unending hatred of the United States? I’m not sure yet but I do know that the…

Haditha, the military counterpart to the Duke Rape case?

First off, I have tremendous respect for military justice, more than I have even for death cases in our own justice system (which I am proud to say I worked on). Still, maybe the Haditha case, and certainly the accompanying brouhaha is pretty similar….

Haditha Story Falling Apart

So EVERY single player in this report holds a grudge or bias against the US. Whether it comes from the doctor who proclaims that the US taking Saddam out of power was not a good thing.
Or from the members of the Hammurabi organization who states that …

So is it starting to look like the Marines were treated unfairly by the press, Murtha and that ilk? ‘Bout time.

Edit to add: Comments on this story can be posted in the new thread I started on it.

Thanks again, MD.

An Iraqi girl saves the lives of American troops. Off topic a bit (sorry ST), but it is a story the MSM will never give the attention it deserves.

Haditha Pushback

This is apparently the first statement from anyone who has direct knowledge of the events relating to the Haditha incident. Other soldiers and witnesses have thus far made statements relating to what they saw after the alleged incident occurred. Stil…

Whatever Happened to

The MSM likes to prate on about how people we know to have committed heinous crimes, like Tookie Williams, are innocent until proven guilty. And, even when that person is found guilty (as sin) by a jury of his peers, the MSM still treats him as thoug…

Now The Media Seeks Out Marines’ Story About Haditha?

Since the story about Haditha broke the media has been all over the story charging that Marines massacred and then covered up the (as John Murtha said) “cold blooded murder” of Iraqi civilians. And the liberal left has left their drool all over this…

- Other than some comments in Fallujah articles during the offensive, I only remember small “snippits” being slipped into articles from time to time, and that thing a couple of weeks ago that was toatlly fisked after the fact. they don’t have anything of subsatnce, so they burry little inuendo’s, and aside remarks alluding to “unidentified Iraqi citizens on the site today, said some of the killing of innocent civilians was carried out by the Marines”. That sort of thing. Haditha seems to be only the second specific, supposidly detailed account, I can remember. the rest seems to come from Insurgent sites and supporters like Al Jazzerra….

More of same – Here , and Here , and Here , and Here , the usual anti-American drum-beat from the left, drive by media, and insurgent sponsored websites…
