I haven't seen a single reaction from the Left. I wish I had. We need to change more minds about Haditha and I hope that can still happen.
I was convinced of it after reading Tim McGirk’s fantasy tale in the first place.

No reaction from the left might be a good reaction. PBS took the issue to a much wider audience in a manner surprisingly neutral in comparison to the slanderous methods used elsewhere.
Is “elevator Jason” a no show on the comments? One would think he would appear again.
Although I appreciated the ‘Frontline’ documentary and believe that the producers genuinely tried to step back and present a fair picture, Phil Brennan does raise some very valid points.
Maybe I’m just jaded but those coming out NOW are a little late for the bandwagon. I seem to remember a good number of the same bloggers damning the Marines initially. I guess it makes me angry cause we’ve all been fighting for so long to get the story out and now they start chiming in. But the good news is that the truth is finally getting out and the Defend Our Marines got a link from PBS!
Sorry for being little miss pissy-pants but there are so many of us that refused to swallow the media driven story from the get-go. It would have been nice to have some of these “big names” chiming in on this 2 years ago...
