I spoke with Tim Sumner of 911 Families for a Safe & Strong America today about the last trial of one of the so-called Haditha Marines. All other troops brought to court martial for this engagement of the enemy have been exonerated. SSgt Frank Wuterich is now the last Marine to face this travesty of justice and he needs your support. Tim has been covering the issue and you can find all the details and background at the 911Families site. Here’s our podcast, please do distribute so we can get the word out on this.

AP/Air Force Times: Last Hadithah defendant to stand trial
Absolutely spot on coverage during the Tim Sumner interview T. Bruce! Tammy’s perspective is highly dynamic and super connected to the real world that we live in. Nobody beats Tammy’s cogent coverage in that she has brought what all Americans care about to the fore. The armed forces [(we Marines;)] love it when people acknowledge that we are all connected and feed off of and need one another to make our culture and society successful.
Keep bringing us the “good stuff.” Tammy covers everything from culture,to health and arttistic forms of film, music and current events from all over. We can’t get enough.
Sweetexp!
It might be worth noting and remembering Rep. John Murtha(D-PA) Deceased, and his disgraceful involvement with this and other issues. (Extracted from and credited to ‘that’ online encyclopedia)
“In November 2005 Murtha announced that a military investigation into the Haditha killings had concluded that U.S. Marines had intentionally killed innocent civilians.Referring to the first report about Haditha in Time magazine, Murtha said: “It’s much worse than reported in Time magazine. There was no fire fight. There was no IED that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood. And that’s what the report is going to tell.”
But then: “The Marine Corps responded to Murtha’s announcement by stating that “there is an ongoing investigation; therefore, any comment at this time would be inappropriate and could undermine the investigatory and possible legal process.” Murtha was criticized by conservatives for presenting a version of events as simple fact before an official investigation had been concluded.”
So it’s been over FIVE years now and Wuterich is finally getting his day in court.
I’m not going to speak ill of the dead, however Murtha went from “Former” to “EX” Marine which is the highest insult of all I’m told.
