Snip-
CAMP PENDLETON — A hearing officer recommended Tuesday that murder charges be dropped against Marine Lance Cpl. Justin L. Sharratt in the fatal shooting of Iraqi civilians in the western town of Haditha in late November 2005

Anybody putting a suicide watch on Murtha..because I’d like to cancel it!!!!

As soon as the last Marine is cleared from these bogus charges Murtha needs to submit his resignation, go an empty field with one in the chamber.

I can’t believe that this isn’t getting more traffic.

I guess it isn’t as much fun as taking turns bashing each otheres primary favorites for a nomination next year.

So, of the eight Haditha marines, one has had the charges dropped, hearing officers have recommended that charges be dropped against two more, one is awaiting the officers’ recommendation, and the other four are still awaiting hearings. It sure looks like Haditha was yet another nothing...just a smear against our troops.

Murtha isn’t going anywhere unfortunately, his district would vote him back in offices even they caught him on tape having sex with a young boys corpse.

I'd like to see the Time magazine employee under oath.

Just how did you get wind of the story and how did you investigate it, Mr. McGirk? Tell us about the number of times your employer had to run corrections and what were the corrections, tell us why you got so many things wrong, sir. Just answer the questions please."

Thanks for posting this, KCB, the truth is coming out in spite of the despicable Murtha and the biased media.

If you would like to help with the civilian lawyer’s legal fees for the
Haditha Marines you can do so by going to these sites.

It’s about time they let these guys go back to work.

It’s the story the MSM was salivating for since the Vietnam war. I wondered what took them so long to invent a US military massacre story since they already had all of the “facts” before it happened and all they needed was to fill in the names, dates, and location.

Of course the local witnesses were not swayed by the fact that terrorist plans were to set up such a scene. I guess the prosecutor thought that it was just a coincidence.

Some excellent news.
