Haditha Massacre Marine cleared of charges

A Victory for Marine Lt. Col Chessani and a waste of your tax dollars

ANN ARBOR, MI Late this morning, the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals sitting in Washington DC, released their unanimous decision upholding the dismissal of charges against Marine Lt. Col Jeffrey Chessani on the grounds of apparent Unlawful Command Influence. But the case may not be over yet.

For the last four years, LtCol Chessani has been investigated and prosecuted for his involvement in the so called Haditha Massacre a massacre that never happened. A 22-year veteran, Chessani has served three tours of duty in Iraq. He served in the First Persian Gulf War and in Panama. At the time of the November 19, 2005 Haditha incident, he was the Battalion Commander of 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines (The Thundering Third) one of the most decorated units in the history of the Marine Corps.

Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, observed, LtCol Chessani, one of the most effective combat commanders we had in Iraq, was a made political scapegoat by the civilians in the Pentagon to appease the antiwar politicians and a liberal media. In fact, we now know that the story of the massacre that prompted the Haditha prosecutions was a headline in a Time news article instigated by insurgent propaganda operatives.

Continued Thompson, This nation has come to the point where we cant call terrorists captured on the battlefield enemy combatants. We release the terrorists out of Guantanamo and prosecute the military our country placed in harms way to defend us.

Thank you for sharing. This was a great injustice done to this man. It is time to take back our government and end the corruption in both parties

So all those bullets and grenades just fired themselves...and he didn't see the holes they left on the bodies of the children inside the home...execution, not mistaken identity.

His guilt will get him in the end, God wont do a thing.

This colonel has done thing most those praising him don't know or ever will.

The soldiers were sent in to do this precisely and have sent their bloody message to the city." Revenge for the deaths previously dealt to the marines."

@DiabloDog3 Those men were murderers. Murtha was pretty spot on. Those men were monsters who slaughtered innocent people in cold blood. I'm sorry but are you fucking high? There is documented proof, photos and corpses of women and children.

@RestrainedNoMore It's a shame that the courts let loose a serial killer. He's probably going back to his home town to keep killing innocent people.

If you want to read a real story from a real marine go and read the story "War Is A Racket"... .by smedley butler... 2 time medal of honor recipient... civil war, and world war 1 veteran.... he tells the truth instead of polishing his medals like most other soldiers... most soldiers just want a stroke job... so they will tell people that there time in theater was like "the hurt locker"... or black hawk down... everybody loves getting stroked.....
