Regarding the incident in Haditha.

There are so many things I wanted to say about it, but as usual Michelle has it all and says it much better than I could. If allegations are true, then everyone agrees that it is horrifying and those guilty should be punished to the full extent of the law. If not true, then I wish the media could be punished (but they won't be) for trying to paint a picture of a military force like the Marines, whose honor and integrity in general are without question, as ruthless killers who don't abide by the rules of war.

It is obvious that this is being used by many to undermine the good work of hundreds of thousands Soldiers and Marines in the military even before an investigation is complete. There is no one who would be more disgusted by the these actions, if true, than the Marine Corp itself. There will be justice for those accused, one way or another. Of that, we know.

But there is no justice in our media though. Of that, we know also.

UPDATE: Blue Star Chronicles has more interesting information regarding Haditha.

UPDATE II: Michelle has an excellent wrap up on her "Vent" video at HotAir. Check it out.

But the most important thing she says is at the end. We will do well remember that these terrorist's main strategy is to kill and maim men, women, and children every day and they do it. If you are angry about innocent death, be angry at the right people.
