LEAKERS, Unlimited.

The documents, including a report by Army Maj. Gen. Eldon A. Bargewell, copies of e-mail messages among Marine officers in Haditha and sworn statements from several ranking officers,....The documents were provided to The New York Times by people familiar with the investigation only on condition that they not be identified.

It sounds like these quotes came from leaked investigative notes. I, also, wonder the reasons for the leaks. Hurt the accused, aid the prosecution, hurt the Corps, or shift the blame from others higher up in the Marines at the time. Could be a combination since there seem to be so many leaks.

Frankly, it’s not impossible that the defense attorneys could be leaking (fighting fire with fire).

But it could also be the same “senior defense officials” who are out to settle some kind of score with the Corps.
