The media has waged a successful campaign against the Haditha Marines. With hearings on the horizon, the accused have very little public support–even among patriots who should know better.
Nearly a year ago, Congressman Murtha pronounced the Marines guilty, basing his conclusion on pictures in Time magazine. The media ran more Haditha stories, quoting Murtha, who was quoting them, and so a My Lai was made out of nothing. We did our enemy’s work for them. The pictures, and witness accounts, came directly from the heart of the Iraqi insurgency. Islamic fascists have become experts at Information Operations, and the gathering and coaching of Haditha witnesses was just another deception. It will all come out in court. The Haditha incident was not a massacre. Neither is it complicated. When civilian-combatants fight Marines, only civilians and Marines are killed. Insurgents hit and run, taking their dead and wounded, along with their weapons, to regroup for another attack. The lack of dead Iraqis in Haditha clearly labeled “insurgent” is not surprising. And the dead women and children are a tragic consequence of insurgents shooting at Marines from people’s living rooms. Read the rest here .
