Col Gary Sokoloski won’t testify. Wonder why Mattis didn’t grant him immunity? The Col. approved the press release by Public Affairs officer Jeffrey Pool that modified the wording of the action in Haditha that day. His actions and Pool’s actions are the only reason there was ever talk of a “cover-up”. Not saying what they did was wrong, but his testimony would help explain things. Well, at least they have the Bargewell report to somewhat explain the chain of events.
Good luck to Capt. Stone!
BTW, did you catch that bit in post # 2?
Even if the enlisted Marines are absolved of murder, the officers still can be prosecuted for failing to properly investigate.
"If you have a suspicious circumstance, then you have a professional duty to ensure it was accurately reported," Glazier said. "They could have breached those responsibilities even if ultimately the lower-ranking individuals are found not to have committed a crime."
