Rather Dubious "Witnesses" For The Prosecution in Haditha Case?
Evidence will tell, hopefully. Assuming the media hasn't already turned this into a political firestorm in which the Marines will be convicted, guilty or not, simply because the media has created so much baseless outrage that the military courts feel compelled to convict them or risk an uprising against the troops.
This American Thinker article notes the very, very biased nature of the claimed "witnesses" to the attack.
And the reporter's "lobbying" of his editors to permit him the use of the word "massacre."
And the Time reporter who first reported this to the world (while the military was already investigating it) seems to be, what's the word?, terrorist-friendly. He spent the first Thanksgiving after 9/11 where any American would spend it-- breaking bread with the Taliban.
Our missing colleagues finally arrive, and I leave thinking that maybe this evening wasn’t very different from the original Thanksgiving: people from two warring cultures sharing a meal together and realizing, briefly, that we’re not so different after all.
We dream of a white picket fence and 2.4 children, they dream of sawing off the heads of those 2.4 children. But the important thing is that we both dream.
