For more information and details on the Haditha Marines go to Flopping Aces.
Go help Lt. Col. Bill Russell boot Murtha. It looks like the Tribune Democrat (Johnstown, PA) is sliming Lt. Col. Russell to help Murtha’s campaign claiming Lt. Col. Russell was AWOL on his campaign when in FACT Lt. Col Russell was called […]

On Tuesday night Frontline’s story was on the Marines in Haditha and the supposed “massacre” of Iraqi civilians. It was more balanced than I expected, however I noted some missing facts especially regarding the Iraqi reporter from the Human Rights group.
Newsmax has the story on the facts missing from the Frontline/PBS “Rules of […]

The makers of this POS propaganda “film” should be sued and the movie and all it’s entrails burned. 
From Free Republic:
“Battle of Haditha” movie set for its world premiere in Toronto / Sept. 6-15
Nick Broomfield’s slanderous depiction of United States Marines killing civilians in cold-blood in Haditha on November 19, 2005 will […]

Robin at Chickenhawk Express has a great rundown on the Haditha Marines - truth or fiction.  The media and Rep. John Murtha did a huge disservice to these Marines and yet have we heard any apologies as of yet? 
The sound is deafening.  I was with Robin from the get go on not condemning these […]

From the Democracy Project:
……according to the attorney for Captain Randy Stone, legal officer for the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, charged with failing to report or investigate the deaths at Haditha, the investigating officer, Major Thomas McCann, for the Article 32 hearings (military-type grand jury) is recommending to 1st Marine Division commander Lt. Gen. James […]

This news isn’t a surprise to those of us who have been following this case.  You remember these are the Marines that Rep. John Murtha (D,PA) called ‘cold blooded murderers’!  Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI) said there was ‘overwhelming’ evidence that the Marines committed this atrocity in Haditha.  All of this was said before an […]

From Robin at Chickenhawk Express…..
Here we go again - the Washington Post has published another report about the Haditha incident while the accused Marines have yet to even have a trial. To add insult to injury, Josh White and Company used a misleading headline that leaves one with a false impression.
The title of the article
is […]

NORTH COUNTY —- The U.S. government’s prosecution against eight Camp Pendleton Marines in the deaths of 24 Iraqi civilians in the Iraqi city of Haditha in 2005 is fraught with problems, according to sources with intimate knowledge of the case.
The difficulties include conflicting statements from Iraqis whose testimony led to the charges and an incomplete […]

The Navy believes they’ve caught the Naval Lawyer who leaked the names of Guantanamo prisoners to unauthorized persons for use by a foreign country. 
From Breitbart.com:
Lieutenant Commander Matthew Diaz, 40, is accused of copying and transmitting secret documents about war-on-terror detainees at the US naval base in Guantanamo to unauthorized persons.
According to the […]

From Robin at Chickenhawk Express is a link to a site set up by some Freepers with the most inclusive and extensive roundup of information on the Haditha Marines. This site is amazing, any information you need is there. Along with the address for their defense fund:
Defend Our Marines looks to me to […]

With 8 Marines charged in the murder of 24 Haditha civilians people need to review all of the information which brings up serious questions as to the validity of the charges and testimony.  Please remember these Marines and their families as we all are enjoying our Christmas.  I doubt there is much joy for them […]

I just completed Ilario Pantano’s book “Warlord“.  What was clear from Ilario’s trial was that NCIS did a hack job of investigating the charge against Ilario.  They based the whole charge on the voice of one witness - Sgt. Coburn, a lying, cowardly Marine who was incompetent and jealous of Pantano.  I was astounded by the […]
