I want to focus on a couple of areas in his most recent report.

Aside from the immunity granted to one of the previously charged Marines, discussed here, and previously here and here with respect to the entire case, it’s now been revealed that another 7 Marines have been granted immunity.

So a total of 8 Marines have now been granted immunity including an officer who was at the scene. It's beginning to look to me like the government is desperate to convict Staff Sgt Frank Wuterich so they can claim a "victory", no matter how tainted.

If so, the government should be ashamed of themselves.  They have now granted immunity to the officer who ordered Wuterich to assault the Iraqi homes from which the enemy was firing.
