Indeed predictable. This way there won't be any ballistic evidence to clear the Marines conclusively, so while a court martial would be obliged to clear them, in the propaganda war, the "massacre at Haditha" will live on as an "American war crime" in the mythology of the Muslim world and Western left.
Each passing revelation makes this look more like a replay of the Sarajevo market or Jenin rather than Mi Lai. (Though I'd still like conclusive evidence one way or the other).
Well, that's it. CASE DISMISSED. Time to moveon.org to the next "atrocity".
Looking back I wonder if this was a case of Iran and Leftwing American lawyers working together to create a Mai Lai.
