Should have been “with prejudice.” Just my opinion.

Dreger and Gannon should both be fired; their innuendo and false prosecution are an affront to justice.

Dreger was Sgt. Winnick's intel officer, and claimed there was no explosives found in the unsearched truck. Gannon as prosecutor used oppression and innuendo to bring a false case.

Fire them both! They are a disgrace to the Corps.

General Helland is a brave man. He did the right thing. Now let’s hope he doesn’t pay the kind of price General Peter Pace paid for doing the right thing.

The Democrats are all too eager to go after anyone who offends them, and it seems as if President Bush will not lift a finger to defend them.

Marines should stand up for Marines who do their duty. They always have in the past. And Presidents should stand up for their loyal subordinates who do their duty, too. That’s part of a commander’s job.

OK Murtha

You have continually refused to defend your despicable charges on the grounds that the trials were on going.

NOW - time to face the music, Scum.

Murtha’s problems are just beginning. Lt. Col. William Russell (R) will be returning from active duty in Iraq Aug.1 and he will be free to resume campaigning against the disgraced King of Pork, Murtha.

Even though Lt. Col. Russell was barred from active fundraising because of his military service, his campaign took in $670,000 in Q2 vs. Murtha’s $119,000.

With this verdict, the Marines are vindicated and Murtha looks like a 21st century Benedict Arnold.

Best wishes to Lt. Col. Russell and his plans to retire Murtha from the U.S. Congress.

Fat Jack Murtha’s witch hunt sure doesn’t seem to be working out. I’d love to see all of these guys get together, go to Washington and kick Fat Jack’s goatsmellin’ @ss! And that goes for his bimbo Pelosi too!
