Latest on the Haditha killings.

Here's the pertinent article.

My limited experience of dealing with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (formerly NIS) is less than impressive. They always came across as incompetent goofballs trying to justify their existence. So maybe that plays into my take on this.

I loved some of the quotes though. First there was, "One scenario describes what appears to be a proper application of force....The other, taken at face value, amounts to an execution."

Well DUH! Guess there's really no reason NOT to take this at face value now is there?

Then there was, "....Platt described finding blood stains on the doorway, on the walls and on furniture inside the bedroom. He also testified about seeing bullet fragments that seemed to come from U.S. military weapons."

And how does he know they came from U.S. weapons?? Is this guy subbing for Carnak the Magnificent in his spare time? And the blood stains absolutely MUST have been from a human (not say, from a conveniently slaughtered dog or goat) and they just MUST have been there from Nov. 19, 2005. Noted!

And then we have,"Mannle said the Ahmed family members' accounts seemed consistent and truthful."

Does this stupid splittail think they WOULDN'T be "consistent and truthful" sounding? Especially since; "She also said time constraints.....prevented her from separating the Ahmed family members before questioning them, which is standard procedure in crime investigations."

Hey, why bother with silly assed procedures? They only get in the way and I'm sure everyone is already convinced the Marines are guilty as sin, right? Who cares? We doan need no steenking procedures!

To close this I'll go to the last paragraph; "In addition, Mannle confirmed that Marines seized several AK-47 rifles and a suitcase allegedly containing Jordanian passports from the Ahmed compound the day of the killings. She said her agency wasn't able to track down these items, which might have linked the Ahmed brothers to insurgent activity."

Gee, can you say "exculpatory evidence"? Even a retired turd chaser can, so WHAT'S THE FRIGGING PROBLEM HERE?? I MEAN OTHER THAN THAT THE NCIS IDIOTS COULDN'T FIND THEIR ASSCHEEKS IF THEY WERE SITTING ON BOTH HANDS WHILE LOOKING!!!!

These fools are doing their damndest to convict Marines who are guilty of nothing more than doing their thankless, dirty, unbelievably revolting duty.

Just my opinion.
