There is now a Defense Fund established for the Haditha Marines. To aid the civilian defense of the eight accused, send donations to:

Marine Iraq Legal Defense Fund, Inc.
c/o Judge Victor Ramirez
P.O. Box 1255
Solana Beach, CA 92075

Your donation can be earmarked to one of the accused or to all of the Haditha Marines who stand trial. Write your preference on the memo line of the check.

Hey, I just realized it's January 7th! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! Woohoo! See you all tomorrow (or later today actually). You all have to be super nice to me at least once.

[RedRover]

Some suggestions for b'day niceness: you could compliment me on the formatting of my posts, the precision of my pings, or the timeliness in reponse to Freepmails. Any of these would be sufficient. Thank you in advance.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RED!!!

Thanks Red!

[endthematrix]

Happy birthday too!

[RedRover]

You're welcome. (And your tagline is terrific.)

[RedRover]

Thanks, jaz! (However, see post 62.)

Hey, I saw #62 but I figured we shouldn't spoil you. :-)

"Those" many freepers are rinos.Id like to know what Savage has done to get em so worked up? Telling it like it is would be my guess.

DEAR REDROVER!!!

Thank you for the outstanding work you have done here on FreeRepublic with the ingenious formatting of your posts.

Those efforts are second only to the amazing precision and thoughtfulness of your spectacular pings.

I will allow others to compliment you on your marvelous response to FReepmails, as I am still waiting for an answer, or even a comment, on an e-mail sent your way several days ago. LOL!

Have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY my FRiend!

[Just A Nobody]

Thank you for all you have done and continue to do, to support the Haditha Marines.

I'll send the fund a check on Monday.

As said before, I am not CSI, but the photo with the blood from this link looks really fresh for being shot at least 2 days later?

I beg to differ. It doesn't look like fresh blood. It looks like black cherry Kool Aid. Or maybe cheap wine. One thing's for sure. It's not dried blood.

[RedRover]

Morning, Bykr! Good to see you.

[lilycicero]

I like how you differ :)

[lilycicero]

Happy Birthday..you freep what you sow! EW again.

Here's to 7 more!

[lilycicero]

Sorry it's early..I thought you said 7 yrs. Well anyway.

Mornin', lil! Fine day for freepin'. First order of business for me is to e-mail Rick Borg and tell him we're rattlling the tambourine.

And here's how to create itals. The html code to begin an italic string of words is < i> without the space before the i.

< /i> turns it off (again, without the extra space). So now you can quote others without their words being mistaken for your own! Try it!

Josh White at the Washington Post seems to be a person of interest. How is it that he has access to so many military officials who are so willing to speak off the record.

I know the investigation in Iraq that looked at these chain-of-command issues did go to the highest levels of the Marine Corps in Iraq.

Haynes -- through Daniel J. Dell'Orto, principal deputy general counsel for the Defense Department -- wrote a memo March 17 that rescinded the working group's report, and Dell'Orto confirmed that withdrawal yesterday at the hearing. According to a copy of the memo obtained by The Washington Post, the general counsel's office determined that the report "does not reflect now-settled executive branch views of the relevant law."
....Dell'Orto declined to answer questions about the memo as he was leaving the hearing yesterday.
