Here's an article re. Col.Bud Day and the Haditha Marines

http://www.wjhg.com/home/headlines/2991521.html

From the article, .."Colonel Day is trying to make sure these young men receive proper treatment, as well as someone to watch over their rights.

“I have been contacted to try to sort out whether or not there is a need for civilian council as opposed to military council."

Not only could Day represent these Marines, but he is also gathering the evidence about the case to help make sure they are properly defended.

But gathering the information he needs is becoming extremely difficult.

"Everyone involved in this investigation is keeping this information very close to their vests, and I'm concerned about why and I want to make sure that the marines are well represented.""

My comments - So maybe he was just trying to ensure these Marines got good council and proper treatment? At least these Marines weren't held in the brig in shackles prior to charges and hearings. Maybe his level of involvement got stretched in the rumor mill.

And maybe, the Haditha Marine family members could give Col. Day's office a call, now, and request some PR help.

It's possible Col Day was involved in some way at the preliminary stage, before any Marine was charged. He may have helped keep them out of shackles for all I know.

Only one Marine who was present at Haditha has a PR firm representing him. He is LT William Kallop and he wasn't charged.
