We don’t know what happened, we may never know in fact. But, we must accept that in times of war, these horrors can happen, no matter who the President is, nor where the fighting is. The “Very Good Questions” read like “Ostrich Survival Techniques for Dummies”. The article would have been much more compelling to simply provide the useful quotes from people who disagreed with the current view… instead of trying to insinuate that the ‘insurgents’ were forcing these people to lie.

There’s a very small, clear and useful position to take on this subject. Have an investigation, if necessary have a trial, then after its all said and done, determine guilt or innocence based on fact and evidence… not premature, politically partisan conclusions and not vapid, poorly written excuses.

This was a great link.

Oh my gosh, I am only on my second cup of coffee. It is way too early to deal with abstract epistemological questions. Absolutely certainty is rarely achieved on this side of the grave. Still, we can often acquire sufficient evidence to justify our conclusions. At this moment, I strongly suspect that the Marines are innocent of all charges.

We can no longer trust the MSM and the national Democratic Party to be fair and objective. They are instead subconsciously committed to our defeat in the war on terrorism. Destroying the Bush administration is its number one goal. If a few Marines must be falsely convicted and sent to prison—so be it.

PS: Please note my emphasis on their ìsubconsciousî motivations. I doubt very much if they are (please forgive my indulgence in psycho-babble) in touch with their feelings.
