An investigating officer has recommended that a Marine Corps general drop all charges against a Marine accused of murdering civilians in Haditha, Iraq, finding again that the 2005 shootings were "tragedies" but that the Marine did not violate the laws of combat.

Paging John Murtha — your reputation is in the toilet!
When will you apologize to all the Marines and their families for your depraved slanders, Rep. Murtha?????

When will the marines SUE Murtha and Time Magazine for slander?
His reputation has been in the toilet ever since he accused the Marines
1 Free, All Free!
Pray for W and Our Troops
Another question is when will the author and editor of Time that started this crap be arrested and tried as enemy propagandists?
There’ll hopefully be news soon on both the Time and Murtha fronts.
Excellent; I look forward to reading/hearing about it (of course, I’ll get to read about it here on fr and NOT hear about it on any “news” station since they protect that man Murtha and of course Time belongs to their clique so they will automatically protect them).
Thank you again, sir, for your continued effort in helping us stay informed and up to speed on this and other issues.
Semper Fi to you sir, in every possible meaning of the term.
Thank you, Grimmy. That means a lot coming from you.
You will definitely see it here first on Free Republic.
