Hutchins also drew a rebuke from Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who, while Hutchins appealed and sought clemency, slandered him as a premeditated and indiscriminate murderer. Hutchins lawyer, Maj. Babu Kaza, points out that Hutchins was found guilty of neither allegation and that Mabus' unprecedented public comments constitute "unlawful command influence" on the workings of justice.

Unlawful Command Influence. Mabus learned at the knee of the serial defamer John Murtha, after all. Mabus loved Murtha's methods so much he named a damn ship after the disgusting old gasbag. Birds of a treasonous feather, and our warfighters suffer because of it.

That's correct.

Murtha's defaming comment about the Haditha Marines being "cold blooded killers" and Mabus's defaming comment about Hutchins being a premeditated and indiscriminate murderer come from federal officials in our government that have taken an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

In my view if they didn't break their oaths with those statements they came damned close and neither were or are worthy of their positions.
