The Thomas Moore Law Center is alleging the Pentagon set up a civilian shadow legal body to investigate and encourage prosecution of the Marines accused of killing civilians in Haditha.
Richard Thompson, president of Thomas Moore Law Center said this:
“The hysteria and media firestorm over Abu Ghraib and the Pat Tillman investigations led to fear of a similar media reaction to the Haditha incident, causing the military’s civilian bosses to set up this shadow oversight body. This extraordinary action politicized the military justice system and was a clear signal to top generals that they were expected to hold individuals criminally responsible. The investigation turned into a quest for a prosecution — not justice.”

These allegations, if true, are incredibly disturbing. Are these government officials willing to throw the men and women of the armed forced under the bus for political expediency and to placate the leftists’ traitorous agenda? If any issue deserves countless investigations and Senate committee hearings, it’s this one. These men were willing to put their very lives on the line for all of us, so they at least deserve the benefit of the doubt. How can we expect good men to continue to enlist when our government is so quick to turn its back on those who have sacrificed so greatly for our nation? Perhaps the men who are so quick to sit in judgment of these soldiers should be sent to a war zone, with bullets whizzing over their head, to see if their split second life and death decisions measure up. I doubt most would muster the courage to stop sobbing and cowering in fear from a fetal position.
