Still attempting to deflect the question, how cowardly.

What an extraordinarily thick skin. Shameless.

Why do you insist on beating around the bush? You stated that Palestinians are animals and I've shown that they are no more so than we are, so I fail to see any deflection. The question of whether or not the Union and Confederate leadership attacked one another is irrelevant since I've provided a better example to support my position.

Still deflecting, I see. I guess I'm done here.

"No solid evidence exists..."

"No solid evidence" in no way implies it never happened, jpsartre 12. "Absence of proof is not proof of absence", right? It's the logic conservatives have used countless times to address the issue of no WMD being found in Iraq, so it must be a valid argument, right? After all, the Christian conservatives have used it enough!

Nice try at the slick evasive maneuver, but I'm still on your tail!!! (Where's that "Red Baron" smiley? ). And, yes, I did read the entire article. I just thought the facts that were revealed were more damning than the mere fact that there wasn't any "solid" proof that the meeting in Canada occurred. What is known tips the balance more towards guilty than innocence.

Maybe you're unfamiliar with the term "justice", but here you're considered innocent until PROVEN guilty. I know it's a foreign concept to someone that supports sending kids and women to do bomb civilians.

True, and it's not an unfamiliar concept to me. Another reality to consider along the same vein is that even though someone can be presumed innocent one can still be charged with the crime.

You also say that:

True also, but you're not speaking to or about those people- you're speaking to me about about two entirely different issues- Haditha and those that have been detained over it and Booth's possible connections to the Confederacy.

I never said the men were innocent or guilty. I said that Murtha was wrong with his accusations that Haditha was nothing more than a coverup .. he vociferously proclaimed that and he was wrong ..


Here is Murtha's quote:

Whoops!

Here is Murtha's quote, the one you provided:


If what you state is the truth, jpsartre12, then why I am reading this in todays news?:


"Accused of failures in investigating and reporting the deaths"

Looks to me like Murtha had it correct all along, jpsartre12.
Do you wish to continue with your own self-deception, jpsartre? Or are you ready to start facing the truth and reality now?

The fact that those accused of committing the murders AND a few that tried to cover it up are all being prosecuted PROVES that the murder of civilians isn't condoned by the military or US public. Murtha's outburst gives the defense grounds for claiming that they can't get a fair trial since he poisoned the perspective jury pool with his comments. While that doesn't affect the military trials, it certainly will become a factor if civil criminal charges are also prosecuted.
And the "truth" is exactly as I have stated. If the killing of civilians was condoned, there would be no trials. So, let's see how you attempt to spin that fact, gem.
