Haditha Investigator Urges Dropping of Marine's Case

This is what really disturbs me, with American so called justice in this war.With Abu Grahib a few lowly soldiers where put on show to the world, indicted and locked up to protect the higher eschalon. It Had to be for Rummies, Cheneys, Georgies protection.
There have been so many heinous crimes committed in Iraq, where the cases have been dropped or the individuals who have committed these crimes are out in a couple of months, sometimes even lessSeems the only crime of so many committed crimes where some charges might stick will be the case of Abeer and Her Family, and that is a maybe to.
Looking in from the outside, Muslims and people around the world must think there is no justice for a people that where supposed to be liberated from Sadam.
This is why I understand Layla's and Rivers rage and anger at the injustice of it all. There seems to be no justice for Iraqi families, under American Justice, So How the Hell can they tell the world that they where Liberating the Iraqi people from Sadam when the same heinous crimes are being committed against them, from the people who where supposed to be liberating them.
The Iraqi citizens who fight to retain there Country their Nation are called Terrorists not resistance fighters, who is left to protect the Iraqi people from their LIBERATORS
The world looks on at the American Justice System

An investigating officer has recommended that a Marine Corps general drop all charges against a Marine accused of murdering civilians in Haditha, Iraq, finding again that the 2005 shootings were "tragedies" but that the Marine did not violate the laws of combat.
Lt. Col. Paul J. Ware wrote in a 29-page report that there is insufficient evidence to show that Lance Cpl. Stephen B. Tatum did anything other than follow Marine Corps rules when he killed women and children in two houses in a residential neighborhood in Iraq on Nov. 19, 2005. Ware found that Tatum followed orders to attack the houses and shot a group of civilians only because another Marine in the unit was already shooting at them.

The case is the second in which Ware has recommended to Lt. Gen. James N. Mattis that charges be dismissed, arguing in both instances that the Marines were operating in a complex combat environment. Mattis agreed with Ware's earlier recommendation and dismissed all charges against Lance Cpl. Justin L. Sharratt, who killed a group of men in a house hours after Marines stormed into two homes and killed civilians inside.
The shootings began after a bomb blast killed one Marine and injured two others as the unit drove a convoy through Haditha. The Marines then killed a group of men who were in a car nearby before heading into two houses in the vicinity. Ware found that Tatum was following his rules of engagement when he fired his rifle in the two houses.
"What occurred in house 1 and house 2 are tragedies," Ware wrote. "The photographs of the victims are heart wrenching, and the desire to explain this tragedy as criminal act and not the result of training and fighting an enemy that hides among innocents is great. However, in the end, my opinion is that there is insufficient evidence for trial. LCpl Tatum shot and killed people in houses 1 and 2, but the reason he did so was because of his training and the circumstances he was placed in, not to exact revenge and commit murder."
