Here hoping gallows are being built at this moment for Murtha.

What a despicable human being.

Good pickup of money quotes from the article, NormsRevenge! Let’s repeat them.

..”In a nutshell, the case exploded when an intelligence officer dropped a bombshell on prosecutors during a pre-hearing interview when he revealed the existence of exculpatory evidence that appears to have been obtained by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and withheld from the prosecutors.

This officer, described by senior Marine Corps superiors as one of the best and most dedicated intelligence officers in the entire Marine Corps, was in possession of evidence which provided a minute-by-minute narrative of the entire day’s action — material which he had amassed while monitoring the day’s action in his capacity as the battalion’s intelligence officer. That material, he says, was also in the hands of the NCIS.”...

Good job, RedRover, for keeping the fires burning in defending these Marines on FR!

We must not forget John Murtha’s treachery in this case.

I still think you have one of the cleverest taglines in all of Freeperdom.

And the picture is way cool.

The motive could be as simple as ambitious men realizing this was the case of a lifetime. And trying so hard they blew it.

Most of what the NCIS investigates is penny-ante crap on bases. They blew their first high-profile case out of Iraq (the Lt. Pantano case). There may have been political pressure, but the simplest explanation is that the NCIS was in over their heads and just couldn't handle the investigation. So they cut corners and here we are.

I am aware of that news.

Tomorrow night is the whole tomato, though, and it will lead to information to be revealed concerning Haditha, also.

Tomorrow is NOT to be missed!

"Separated at birth?"

Actually, they are faternal twins, identical, except they had different mothers.

I guess that is plausible, but frankly if the facts are as described in this article, (and I admit that News Max is not a source I'd put my life savings on) I'd have to think there is something else in operation here.

Honestly, I have not followed the case that closely so it is difficult for me to pass judgment. It just seems to me there must be some 'outside' influence required to get people to eat their own for no reason.

Was Murtha the dancer at the duke lacrosse party? Comparable worth as a human.

From what I’ve seen here, the NCIS is civil and so are not necessarily ‘eating their own’ (except in the sense that the Marines are, like themselves, Americans), which calls into question what political “orientation” the members of the NCIS tend toward. I don’t know enough to do more than idly speculate.

This current report on NewsMax correlates nicely with the piece Phil Brennan did for NewsMax back in June 2006...

I think you are right. It’s difficult to prove—unless someone from the inside has the integrity to speak out.
