Haditha Marine Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani Charges Dismissed

[las47032]

Cold-blooded John Murtha was wrong about the Haditha marines.
Barack Obama was wrong about Haditha, too.

In May 2006 antiwar Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) accused US marines of killing innocent Iraqis "in cold blood" after the former news magazine TIME published a piece of Al-Qaeda propaganda about an incident in Haditha, Iraq.

In May 2006 antiwar Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) also announced that there was a grand coverup to to stifle the story:

Notice the ABC headline: "Worse than Abu Ghraib"
Murtha insisted there was a coverup-- There wasn't.

Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani was found not guilty today on all charges today.
That makes 7 of 8 marines who have now had their charges dismissed.

Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani became the 7th of 8 marines cleared of wrongdoing in the Haditha, Iraq killings in 2005.
CBS News reported:

A military judge has dismissed charges against a Marine officer accused of failing to investigate the killings of 24 Iraqis.

Col. Steven Folsom dismissed charges Tuesday against Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani after defense attorneys raised concerns that a four-star general overseeing the prosecution was improperly influenced by an investigator probing the November 2005 shootings by a Marine squad in Haditha.

The charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be refiled, but Folsom excluded Marine Forces Central Command from future involvement.

Chessani was the highest-ranking officer implicated in the case.

Michelle Malkin says it's time to fight the smearers:
Call 202-225-2065.

HotAir informs that the charges were dismissed - not cleared.

Blackfive sums it up:

The most egregious actor in this sad tale, was the Lummox Murtha. What a sad sack of ****e he stacks inside those suits and lumbers from trough to trough. Shame on you Mr. Murtha you disgraced yourself, the Congress and earned the disgust of 99% of the US military.

Lawhawk has more on the case.
