Great, and keep in mind that the 9th is just a best guess based on travel plans, etc. All I know for sure is that almost nothing has been predictable!
There’s a page for graphics here...

I’ll put this on my homepage on FR in case you lose it! I’ll be adding to the page as we roll along.
:o)
Excellent graphic, Red!
This is what I’ve got in mind. It will be a little fancier with html, some links and maybe a graphic, but basically a straightforward but short and simple approach. What do you think? I can launch post it this afternoon.

The Haditha Marines-The Squad Leader-A Final Chapter
It certainly seems appropriate that the last defendant in the Haditha case is the squad leader, SSgt Frank Wuterich. Leaders take responsibility, and SSgt Wuterich has taken full responsibility for the actions of his squad in Haditha. His stance from the outset has remained clear:
“My Marines responded to the threats they faced in the manner that we all had been trained”, he has steadfastly maintained. “I will bear the memory of the events of that day forever, and will always mourn the unfortunate deaths of the innocent Iraqis who were killed during our response to the attack.”
As the last Marine originally charged in the deaths of Iraqis in Haditha, Iraq in 2005, SSgt Wuterich will be seated at the defense table in his general court-martial two days from now, Wednesday, January 4th. Barring last minute motions or outright dismissal of charges, jury selection will begin Wednesday or Thursday. SSgt. Wuterich will be tried by a jury of combat-experienced Marines, and the panel will include at least two Marines from the enlisted ranks.
