Since the court has already been told that the white cars were transport for attack insurgents, and since that white car showed up immediately upon an IED attack, and since the occupants opened the car doors and had the doors between at least some of them and the Marines, how can any panel member, given the nature of the ROE fault those Marines for taking out those probable insurgents.
I distinctly remember some article from the past talking about weapons recovered related to that white car, that those weapons disappeared, and that the would exonerate the Marines if ever found. I think I recall they were turned over to investigators.
Does anyone else remember this and/or know what became of those weapons.

Yes, xzins, I remember there were possibly weapons related to the white car, but it could never be verified (at least I think that's the case).
Found this article written by LtCol. Bob Weimann which provides a reasonable defense for SSgt Wuterich's actions at the white car.

I remember several insurgent weapons (two?) were lost or disappeared from from investigators custody, or a military vehicle, that investigators turned over for transport.
I can’t remember if those weapons were supposedly from the white vehicle or from one of the houses.
