As 2008 begins, Haditha hysteria still blights the lives of all the men who were implicated, not just the soldiers remaining in legal limbo. But what about the accusers who trumpeted the worst of the charges? Are they accountable for tarnished reputations? Terminated careers? Legal bills? Outrage? Night sweats?

This said it all for me, Jaz.

I don't like getting angry, it's not my nature. But all of those, Murtha, McGirk, the NCIS, etc.; have incensed me throughout this travesty that has befallen these Marines. I want justice, and torment and reckoning for those who would deny it.

The price must be paid by those who would use our bravest defenders as political fodder for their own ideologies and agendas.

Well said, Smooth, you’re right on the money!

Justice will not have been served until those bearers of false witness pay a price for their despicable actions. I doubt they will ever pay that price but they all know what they did and will have to live with it until their dying day. I suppose there is some justice in that but not nearly enough, IMO.

Good points...too bad it’s all true.
