Of course, it made the Leftwingers insane with rage. But what else is new?

Important development. General Mattis is on the same side as the defense on this issue.
Darn! It's about time. Find the leaker and hang him/her for all I care. What's been done to our Marines is horrible!
Excellent news and good for General Mattis.
May the first Rat investigated by the Inspector General be Fat Jack Murtha.
Mattis wa a Captain when I served with him off Iran in 1980, me and Flightline.
We corresponded a few times recently, and he did something wonderful to help us support our guys over there.
He has the power and authority to makes things happen in these cases.
I just wonder what the hell is going on.
Everything I knew about him, and from people who know him for years after being his troops, all tell me he is an honorable guy, yet all the eveidence I have heard shows he is ignoring the defense.
Our government is like a sieve. Apparently, the people who work for it think that journalism is a higher calling.
* January 26: NCIS agent testifies notes don't fully match statement
* January 18: Haditha accusations unmasked
* January 17: Haditha attorney accuses Pentagon of deception
* January 15: Marine Lawyers Want Probe After Leak To Media
* January 14: Moonbats Want Blood! [Haditha Marine Photos]
* January 11: Guilty Until Proven Innocent
* January 6: Official: Evidence doesn't back Marines
* January 6: US marines killed unarmed Iraqis: report
Let's see--the NCIS investigative files in the Haditha case get leaked to the WaPo(obviously to build up public support for a conviction) and in the Hamdania case, defense counsel (with some apparent evidence to back the claim) charge that NCIS investigators filed false statements of eye witnesses.
Well....
Of course, it made the Leftwingers insane with rage. But what else is new?
"It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up front with you. I like brawling."
No PC speak in that sentence. I'm with him on that, there are some people that need to be killed for all our sakes.
Lieutenant General James N. Mattis
Notice any similarity?
Lieutenant General Patton
For instance, JAG Hunter recommends, "start by lookin' at NCIS Executive Assistant Deputy Director for Criminal Investigations Ernie Simon, Special Agent James Conolly, NCIS IG L. B. Beyer, and other NCIS officials".
There's also a blogger doing great work at Conservative Thoughts.
Remember, if we don't spread the word, no one else will. And the NCIS will walk away from this whistling, just as they always have in the past.
Good to see you, radar. My only comfort in all this mess is that General Mattis has the final say, not some pinko clown on the 9th Circuit.
Thanks-Proud to be here.
I always think of Patton when hearing Mattis' name. He has the attitude, looks and straightforwardness of Patton.
All the challenges about the leaks and the NCIS falsification of evidence are not coming from JAGs appointed to defend the Marines.
Those civilian lawyers are paid for by the defendants—not by the government. As long as the accused can keep writing checks to lawyers such as Jack Zimmermann, Neal Puckett, Gary Myers, and David Sheldon, justice may be served.

What is the Navy and the Marine Corp doing prosecuting these fine warriors?! Don't they know this is the kind of men we want doing the job they have to do?
The whole scene is bunch of bogus Hotel Sierra.
