Nat Helms is a Contributing Editor to Defend Our Marines. He is a Vietnam veteran, former police officer, war correspondent, and, most recently, author of My Men Are My Heroes: The Brad Kasal Story (Meredith Books, 2007).
Nat Helms retelling of the Haditha story, updated from the normal pablum written by the media at the time of the original Haditha charges, is refreshing. I places everything in proper context.
It talks about the insurgents, the presence of Al Qaeda, the firefight, the storming of buildings that were hostile.
It should be the standard for truth in reporting now that so much information has come out in the Article 32 hearings.
Many of our Marines are still in serious jeopardy, and they deserve our support as we head down the homestretch.
Do we have any projections on Court Martial dates? It’s obvious that “speedy trial” isn’t in anyone’s handbook anymore.
All those involved in pushing this case ought to be tried for treason.
This is encouraging news and it is refreshing that Nat Helms reports on the story without reflecting the bias that the MSN clearly has when it comes to this incident. He has done his homework with all his articles and tells it like it is, my hat goes off to him.

Great news! Wuterich is the one Marine the ACLU scumbags at JAG want to railroad more than anybody. When Wuterich gets exonerated, it’s all over except for Murtha’s crying.
This is certainly good news for Sergeant Hector A. Salinas. Let us hope that his testimony will help exonerate Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich.
