Read an account about another incident where 4 marines testified for the proscecution to receive lighter sentences hope that doesn't happen here.
If this prosecution is politically motivated I would sure like to the reason and who is pushing it.
"If" it is political it is because of Maliki and other Iraqis that are calling for the blood of these Marines. The people of Haditha have been making a lot of noise about this and Haditha has been a stronghold for the insurgency.
There are many links to this very thing here that RedRover has put together.
I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas.
