Was Haditha a Deliberate Propaganda Ploy by Al Qaeda?

Clarice Feldman

Defend Our Marines notes something everyone else has missed:

October 6, 2007 - Buried in the mountain of exhibits attached to the once secret Haditha, Iraq murder inquiry prepared by US Army Maj. Gen. Eldon A. Bargewell is an obscure Marine Corps intelligence summary (see pdf) that says the deadly encounter was an intentional propaganda ploy planned and paid for by Al Qaeda foreign fighters.

Veteran military defense attorney Gary Meyers said he never understood why the Naval Criminal Investigative Service special agents leading the Haditha criminal investigation didn’t “examine the linkage” between Al Qaeda, the local insurgency and the events at Haditha. Meyers was an attorney on the defense team that successfully defended Justin Sharratt, a Marine infantryman accused of multiple murders at Haditha.

The report - apparently overlooked by a Washington press corps awash in leaked Bargewell documents and secret Naval Criminal Investigative Service reports - shows that Marine Corps intelligence operatives were advised of the scheme to demonize the Marines by an informant named Muhannad Hassan Hamadi. The informant was snared by 3/1 Marines on December 11 2005 and decided to cooperate.

[...]


Read the whole thing.

If this is true, the Dems/MSM/lefties, including Murtha, are guilty of far more than simple inaccuracy. They seem to function as a unwitting(we hope) propaganda arm for the terrorists, especially against our own soldiers.

But don't question their patriotism.

robert108,

I seem to recall reading that little tidbit a month or more ago.

As I answered this question earlier for Rob’s post about Haditha, yes. Next question please.
