"A year ago I was charged with two counts of premeditated murder and with other war crimes related to my service in Iraq. My wife and mother sat in a Camp Lejeune courtroom for five days while prosecutors painted me as a monster; then autopsy evidence blew their case out of the water, and the Marine Corps dropped all charges against me ["Marine Officer Cleared in Killing of Two Iraqis," Washington Post news story, May 27, 2005].
So I know something about rushing to judgment, which is why I am so disturbed by the remarks of Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) regarding the Haditha incident ["Death Toll Rises in Haditha Attack, GOP Leader Says," news story, May 20]. Mr. Murtha said, "Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood."
The above is an excerpt from Marine Lieutenant Ilario Pantano to the Washington Post that was reprinted in today's NY Post. As more about Haditah is proved to be media-generated fabrications of the Loon-Kind, it is good to see the Lt. lending his support to brother Marines. Not that they need it. But need has nothing to to with it. Need is what keeps the Murtha's of the world awake at night, dreaming of what dishonorable notion will garner them the most fame. Before the electorate became so sheep-ified by the mainstream media, such exhibitionists would be weeny-flashing in Central Park, location-specific perverts whose story would never make it onto the world stage.
If his ilk is the best the Left can do then there IS no genuine two-party system in America, because villains, thieves, perverts, and scoundrels shouldn't count.
