Haditha Up to Here
I can’t say for sure what happened at Haditha, but more and more I know what didn’t happen.
Michelle reports:
The Marine Corps is dropping all charges against a lance corporal who was accused of involuntary manslaughter in a squad’s killing of 24 Iraqis in Haditha in 2005.
The Marines dropped the case against 26-year-old Lance Cpl. Stephen Tatum on Friday as jury selection was about to begin for his court-martial at Camp Pendleton. He had also been charged with reckless endangerment and aggravated assault.
John Murtha was, as they say, unavailable for comment.
My Lai? My behind.
