Haditha: Time says NCIS hasn’t concluded that the killings were deliberate

Someone in the Pentagon told the AP this morning that the shinolastorm’s about to break.
Now someone else in the Pentagon is telling Time that that, itself, is shinola.
The joys of leaks:
DOD officials tell TIME that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld recently set up a Pentagon task force, which meets once a week, to track Haditha and prepare for the eventual release of the investigations’ results. But a Pentagon source familiar with the criminal investigation says that contrary to the suggestions of some media reports Wednesday, there have been no conclusions that the Marines deliberately killed unarmed civilians. This source also says that the bodies of those killed at Haditha have not been exhumed, which makes proving murder ‘very challenging.’
Like Murtha, Olbermann doesn’t need a report to tell him that they did it. The war’s bad, a My Lai would help undermine it, ergo it happened.
Even a two-year-old can understand that.

Gotta take an odd/cheap shot here, but doesn’t the boy’s dad (or whoever that guy is) bare a striking resemblance to the recently famous “green helmet”? (Jokingly putting on my tinfoil hat). Word has it the Loose Change folks are all over it, and will release a highly credible internet film soon.

These leaks have seemed too well timed to be trusted entirely. It’s announced Murtha is going to be sued, and immediately someone leaks “the massacre was real”. Very good timing for Murtha…

Hmmm, RightWinged, you bring up an interesting point about the eerie simlarities between the boy’s “father” and green helmet.
I don’t want to draw rolled eyes here, but…
Has anyone ever seen the “father” and green helmet together? Makes you think, doesn’t it? Really, has anyone ever seen Clark Kent and Superman together?
Has this purported “father” ever specifically denied being green helmet? No, he has not. And why hasn’t he? What is he trying to cover up?
I must note that the continued silence of this “father” is suspicious indeed…

I hope to be proven right as I’ve always maintained that our Heroes are innocent of the disingenous charges that Murtha leveled against them.

An update from WaPo:
If you cannot get them on murder charges you must try to convict them on something or risk losing support in your efforts, right?

Ok. That story might not be related [my bad], but I believe the military must produce something against our Haditha heroes, or prepare to suffer a backlash.
