Haditha Case Crumbling...

From the San Diego Union-Tribune:

But now, legal analysts say the prosecution's case is in jeopardy.

They spoke after investigative officers recommended that two of the seven Haditha defendants should be spared courts-martial, largely because of weak evidence.

A third defendant was recommended for trial yesterday.

“I think that unless they get a Marine eyewitness to roll over, they are going to have a hard time prosecuting the cases,” said Jane Siegel, a former Marine judge and longtime defense lawyer in San Marcos. “The government has to know that as the investigation gets older and older, the case gets colder and colder and harder and harder to prove.”

John Murtha (D) should be forced to resign from Congress for his atrocious prejudging and slurring of our Marines. Hopefully, he will have a lawsuit brought against him. Tim McGurk of TIME should also be fired for getting this politically driven, insurgent-initiated propaganda witch hunt started.
