The investigation of the March 15 attack on a home in the town of Ishaqi was one of three probes into possible misconduct by American troops in Iraq. U.S. Marines are also accused of deliberately killing two dozen unarmed Iraqi civilians in the western town of Haditha on Nov. 19 after one of their own died in a roadside bombing. Besides Haditha and Ishaqi, seven Marines and a Navy corpsman could face murder, kidnapping and conspiracy charges in the April shooting death of an Iraqi man west of Baghdad. The investigation of the attack in Ishaqi concluded that the U.S. troops followed normal procedures in raising the level of force after they came under fire while approaching a building where they believed was an Al Qaeda terrorist was hiding, said Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, a U.S military spokesman. Caldwell also acknowledged there were "possibly up to nine collateral deaths" in addition to the four Iraqi deaths that the military announced at the time of the Ishaqi raid. The results of the investigation were released amid questions about the original U.S. report as television stations aired AP Television News footage of a row of dead children in the aftermath of the raid. Army Brig. Gen. Donald Campbell, the chief of staff for U.S. forces in Iraq, said Friday the military will cooperate with the Iraqi government in its own investigation of Haditha and other incidents of alleged wrongdoing by U.S. troops. _________________________________________ The story is much longer.

If it had to be revealed, that means it was previously concealed, and therefore he should not have leaked it out, and so should probably go to prison. It is the act of a traitor to do such a thing.

But this thread, which is going nowhere as predicted is about our heroic military being cleared of misconduct. Notice this story gets no play in the liberal press.. it doesn't fit their agenda of cut and run, lose the war, make Bush look bad, democrats return to power.
Originally Posted By Beaumandy I know. You mentioned outed agents however with the name Rove and that means Valerie Plame, the scandal that was supposed to bring Rove and Bushhitler down for sure! Funny how that didn't happen.
Originally Posted By jonvn At least not yet. I don't think it will bring down Bush. I mentioned Rove because the person before me talked about him going to jail. Are you reading these posts?
Originally Posted By Beaumandy You took a comment that mentioned Rove, then YOU brought up laking an agents name. You meant Plame who was not undercover or covert.
Originally Posted By jonvn It mentioned him going to jail. Or, did I miss something, and there is some OTHER reason he might go to jail?
