Posted at 8:43am on Jun. 20, 2008 In Which A Haditha Marine Considers How *Best* To Show Murtha His Appreciation For All That Troop Support
By haystack
An interesting development with one of the exonerated Marines in the Haditha mess Jack Murtha and Time Magazine's Tim McGuirk created not so long ago has bubbled up...the highest ranking officer accused is considering suing them:
With most of the eight Marines charged in the Haditha, Iraq, incident now exonerated, the highest-ranking officer among the accused is considering a lawsuit against Democratic Rep. John Murtha, who fueled the case by declaring the men cold-blooded killers.
In an interview with nationally syndicated radio talk host Michael Savage, the lead attorney for Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani said he and his client will look into suing Murtha and the Time magazine reporter, Tim McGuirk, who first published the accusations by Iraqi insurgents.
As lawsuits go, THIS is one I would thoroughly enjoy watching. I can think of no better example of giving back to the anti-war Democrats a little of that "support" we keep hearing so much about. All that distortion, misrepresentation, and shrill rhetoric comes at a real cost to the Soldiers actually doing the heavy lifting for us in Iraq and I would LOVE to see them hold Murtha and his ilk accountable for their actions and their words.
The rest below the fold...

one acquittal and unlawful command influence
By streiff
I've covered the Haditha events fairly extensively since they first broke (here | here | here) including an interview with the the defense team of LTC Jeffrey Chessani.
As a career Army officer I have to admit that my faith in the military justice system has been both shaken and bolstered by what has happened thus far.
But first the news.
Read on.

"CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - The Marine Corps dropped its case and gave full immunity Friday to a serviceman who was accused of involuntary manslaughter in a squad's killing of 24 Iraqis in Haditha in 2005."
Never was there a greater urge to war from the left than that bloodlust they shared for the Marines involved in the Haditha incident. EX-Marine Jack Murtha in particular went after his onetime brothers with cold-blooded indifference.
Redstater C17Wife wonders when the apology is coming. Me too.
Posted at 11:39am on Mar. 13, 2008 Mike Pence in Haditha (vid) - and where is Okinawa Jack Murtha?
By Mark Kilmer
On the floor of Congress this AM, in a One-Minute Speech, Representative Mike Pence (R-Indiana) spoke of the "miracle of YouTube." Why? Well, on March 2, Congressman Pence andhis entourage touched down for what he called a "high-velocity trip to Haditha." On YouTube.com, he's put 16-minutes from the streets of Haditha, interviews with Iraqis, in two parts.
CAVEAT: This is not Okinawa Jack Murtha's Haditha:
Part I:
And Part II can be found HERE.
You'll never hear it from the Mainstream Media, which is still trying to create a fictional Iraq just as it has been in the business of creating a fake Eliot Spitzer and an unreal Barack Obama.
