>> They are innocent.
Yes, and more. They were properly prosecuting a military action for the benefit of all of us. As they were commanded to do.
That they have been accused of crimes is beyond reprehensible. And beyond understanding.
Murtha is sweating like the fat pig that he is.
Pivotal ping
Fobbits saving Marine butt ping?
Ted Kennedy laughs at him.
There was a drone at Hamdania, too, but the PROSECUTION would not allow footage of it played in the trial, even when they said it condemned the Pendleton 8.
Lets see where this UAV footage goes.
Pivotal is right. CNN should broadcast the tape NOW.
Reprehensible, yes. Beyond understanding, no.
This was a put up job from the start. This was a product of an enemy propagandist and a traitorous enemy sympathizer.
Since betrayal and treason carry zero pain or punishment in our current degeneration of culture, it is predictable that such occurs and we’ve not seen the worst of it yet.
Wait a minute! CNN is offering a story suggesting our troops might be innocent??? I don’t trust this... what are they up to?
If any of you Freepers are in Murtha's district, let us know if there is ANY questioning of Murtha by the public or are they mostly content with having sent this arrogant knownothing back to Washington.
vaudine
Now who you gonna believe, Jim Murtha or your own lying eyes?
Gary Solis finally said something I can agree with, we should round up the insurgents that escaped Haditha and hold them accountable.
Without question - These warriors followed proper MOUT procedures in clearing (these considered) hostile structures via a bottom up assault -
It is absolutely awful these men have been put through what they have been put through - They should be with their fellow warriors and in the fight - Not being put on trial by JAGS /NCIS who want to try and stay relevant in this WOT.
A 12-year old survivor of the alleged massacre of innocent civilians by U.S. Marines patrolling Haditha has admitted she had prior knowledge of the plot to detonate an IED as their convoy was passing by her house on the morning of Nov. 19, 2005.
In a CNN interview broadcast Wednesday, Safa Younis - who says eight members of her family were killed by U.S. troops - recalled that she was getting ready for school as the Marine Humvee approached.
"I was planning to go to school. I was about to go out of bed. I knew the bomb would explode so I covered my ears," the youngster said, according to a CNN translator. "The bomb [then] exploded," she explained. "The bomb struck an armored vehicle. I don't know if it was a Humvee or an armored vehicle. When the bomb exploded, they came straight to my house."
