Case Against Lt. Col. Chessani Dismissed

Michelle Malkin in Townhall.com reports that seven out of eight of the defendants in the "Haditha massacre" case have been acquitted or had their charges dropped. At least with the military justice system, one can get off if there is insufficient evidence. Not so if you're undergoing trial-by-newspaper, or if Rep. Jack Murtha (bought and paid for by Arab interests) declares you guilty even before looking at the available facts. Will any of these parties issue a public apology? [***DEAD SILENCE***]

The daytime talk radio shows report that Lt. Col. Chessani is now free to receive an honorable discharge and retire from the Marine Corps. But during the months he was preoccupied with defending his honor, the enemy had reason to rejoice, as he was as helpless as a combat veteran whose vehicle had been bombed, and who was waiting for his retirement in a military hospital.
